Verily, verily, verily, verily

Six little ducks floating down a stream.

Blissfully unaware that they are part of the carnival of life.

Trapped from beginning to end in a current going round and round.

Bad things happen.

All good things eventually end.

Bad things end too.

Never giving up.

Learning to enjoy the moment.

This stream is not a dream.

It has room to negotiate the obstacles,

Make some compromises,

And take advantage of all the beautiful surprises that come along.

Then it becomes a work of art.

Before a hand reaches down and plucks them out of the stream.
