Flap
Flap
Flap

Belly brushing water
Rising into the air
Another duck leaves the pond,
but only for a while

Flap
Flap
Flap

Soaring above my dreams
Whistling wings she's free
Over the falls and down the rocks,
landing in the lake below

She swims
She frolicks
She preans
She is a duck

Flap Flap
Flap Flap
Flap Flap

Soon she is not alone
She has company
Her family and friends,
have come to be free

Perching on rocks
Feasting from the lake
Swimming amongst the waves
A perfect day away from the pond

She watches the ducklings scurry about
Chirping as they hurry along the waters edge
Chasing the waves but never stepping in,
this is their first time to the lake

She's curious and swims close
She shows them it isn't so hard
Then one duckling jumps in,
and the rest follow

She plays with the young
Then swims far out into the lake
Soon she is tired,
and the sun begins to set

Flap
Flap
Flap

She flies back to her home
Her resting place
The calm pond waters,
that lead to the lake

You are the most MASSIVE moron I have ever seen. You should kill yourself and donate your body to science. There's enough there they won't need anyone else for years.
