DUCKS LEGS
Have you ever seen a family of ducks
going smoothly along?
Gliding over the water like a melodic
tune or sweet song,
Mom out in front, dad keeping order
bringing up the rear,
No more peaceful scene could be found
as we gaze far and near.
If the water is clear and you can get
close enough to see,
All the little tiny duckling legs are going
fast as can be,
Just a blur of webbed feet under that
small feathered frame,
While on top they stay calm and stately
that is their aim,
However busy we may be each day,
however fast the pace
In the temple we never hurry and always
show a sweet calm face,
Take the example of the duckies as
along they glide,
All the hustle and bustle and haste we
just tuck away and hide.
