You are one of a kind.
Colorful and different,
blended with brightness.
So beautifully crafted,
exotic and graceful,
an endangered species.
They say you are golden,
the name they call you,
befitting truly.
Found only in a particular
special swampy waters.
Adorable little creatures,
not fit for consumption,
made to adorn and grace
the waters to feed
our eyes.
Lovely to behold,
you have no hiding place.
So free in your habitat,
just being you.
Humans gather to see
and watch you swim
around your home.
Without fear you display your
beauty and essence.
Your courage is admirable.
You are truly the little golden fish
someone tossed on my path
and I am the luckiest man to have
found you.
