Water...amazing?

          What is most needed in life is one of the simplest things to come by. It is an essential part of the lives of anybody who lives here on this world. It is possibly the only thing that everyone and everything needs in order to live. But what is water? From a molecular standpoint, a single molecule of water is made up of 2 hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, but this isn't science class, so water is some sort of mystical material that takes on many forms. It can be as hard as rock, which is very stubborn and makes you want to cry (or maybe not).This form is the solid called "ice". It can also take on this form of stealth, invisible to the naked eye, which makes it like a ninja (then again ninja's don't necessarily exist anymore, so that proves how successfully stealthy they were).This form is the gas called "air". It's last form, which is the liquid called "water", is whats most common to us, and why is it so? Water can be delicate like a newborn's smile, but it can also be as powerful as a stubborn toddler. Water can take on the shape of anything and it will fit any sort of containment it is put in. Yet, it can also breakdown the hardest of things like rocks and minerals. As Bruce Lee once said "Be like water my friend" I say "it's not that easy."
