I think I'd like a koi.
A sweet, lovely, little fish
not a silly idle toy.
If I had one wish
I'd get one today
and maybe a friend
so they could play
until their sweet end.
But maybe one day
The koi will leave
and swim out of the bay.
Perhaps on the eve
they will swim up to me
let by gone be by gone
and under the tree
tell me they dream to be a dragon.

There's a legend that says that if a koi manages to swim up the falls of Dragon Gate on the yellow river it will become a dragon. Because of that it has become a symbol of aspiring to advance through all troubles and challenges and working hard for it to be the very best. They can also be seen as a symbol of courage. Just sharing info ^^ Hope it helped.
