Beautiful swan floating gracefully by
Dancing softly like the winds of spring
Your joy and your candor, incredibly spry
The weight of the world on your wing
You pass by with ease and no cares in the sight
So strong in your humility
For though you are tired, your heart takes to flight
To unburden fragility

Beautiful swan swimming ‘neath the night sky
Enlightened by the strawberry moon
You never let a moment’s grace pass you by
For you know that all things could end soon
Life’s few guarantees and so many regrets
Could leave your heart bitter and cold
But instead you push onward, the safest of bets
Because you’re both brave and bold

Beautiful swan I admire you so
I long for your quaint dignity
Your remarkable prowess through each ebb and flow
Shall ever speak volumes to me
I long to be like you, more agile and free
Passing by with no cares to be seen
For maybe one day, more like you, I will be
More poised, hopeful and serene
