The Animal For Me:

If you could be anything, what would it be?

Would it be large and strong, or humble like a flea

I've asked myself that question a hundred times

And even felt lost sometimes

 

Now the animal for me is a duck

 

Graceful and elegant, filled with poise

And never one to quack as noise

Under the water, away from the light

Its tiny legs kick with a bite

 

Each and every kick back and forth

Let’s it head further north

Forth in the direction you want to be

So kick those feet and join me

 

Towards your dreams…
