Analysis of The Magical Waterfall
Into the forest one day I strolled,
and came upon a site to behold.
At first I heard the mighty roar,
and followed it 'till I came to the shore.
In front of me was the magical waterfall,
so wild and wet and awfully tall.
Over the rocks the water flows,
and in between the flower grows.
I raised my hand and made a fist,
for I saw a rainbow in the mist.
The water flowed down and very swift,
surely this place must be a gift.
The water is fresh, clean and pure,
breatheing in this air is surely a cure.
The waterfall is flowing with love,
a gift, of course, from heaven above.
