Ducks in a Row

By safewrite

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Hear them quack - They’re making noise. Its the sound of progress. Progress! It's finally true. I can see it happening I never thought to see The day I could look forward to Having all my ducks in a row. Hear them quack - Lovely weather for ducks There’s something in my heart. Spring! It's finally time. I can feel it happening After all that snow The time I have looked forward to - Having all my ducks in a row. Think of all the problems of the past As April showers After all that toil New life is springing up Through all those layers of soil. . . Hear them quack, Such a cheerful sound It sounds right - Finally! It's about time. I can almost touch it; It's almost within reach, I’ll line them up just so: Imagine! Having all my ducks in a row.
