Why Can’t We Live Like Swans
Swans grace the lake at Gouganbarra,
Courting couples swimming together.
They mirror each other,
Always, in every way,
Paired together, that’s forever,
Never occurring to stray!
Their love is special
And will never wane.
So happy just to be together,
So sweet, so simple in its way,
They admire each other;
In a graceful swan like way.
They look in the water
What can they see?
Why each other of course,
For their reflections are the very same.
They preen each other
In their swan like way.
Their love so strong;
You know, in an unconditional swan like way.
They both tend their young
As new life begins,
They work as one, together,
each and every day,
In their swan like way.
Sharing their thoughts,
Sharing their love,
Devoted to all in their care…
Ever ready to share each others darker days
When one dies the other is without loss
They live on with memories
Lasting their whole life through…
The day will come and together they will be,
On a lake well above the world we know.
Once again,as one, swimming,
Clapping their clamorous wings
Graceful as ever and that will last forever,
In their Swan like way….
O’ to be like swans?
