Who am I?


My friends are lovely, wet lakes
and huge, splashing oceans.
I am special because I have the mighty powers
to drown people.
I am dark blue and I can be big or small.
I will not disappear, ever.
I love the wind because it moves me.
I dream about having dirty water in me.
I am afraid of mean people throwing fat, filthy old stuff at me.
Have you guessed what I am?
Well, I’m a river.
