National Poem day

The Duck

As I reached the crest of the bridge

I saw the most magnificent duck all alone

I watched the duck making slow progress against the rough current.

I think how overwhelming life can appear at  times

It takes a little determination to get where we're going.

I was intrigued as the duck at the bank of the river

took time to bob and flip over

seemingly unaware of the cold brisk wind ruffling it's feathers

teaching once again it is not the destination that is important

but the journey we all travel.

Have I said lately I love my son.  Precious first poem.  By the way today is National poem day.  So write one yourself or read one.  All this triggered by a walk downtown on a brisk day to get a manicure.
