Life Is Tough, Even For Animals Poem by Jerusha Melanie

We have some ducks
In a tank of ours,
They swim and eat there
All the hours.

One day I in the evening,
I scanned them thoroughly
One of them was scattered away,
And it could not properly swim.

I couldn’t understand,
What the was matter,
And why the poor duck was a-parted
When its friends quack and chatter.

Later I found out,
That it was a blind,
There was no one to love him
And behave in a manner of kind.

Each day was a
Battle for him
He couldn’t play with his friends
And take pleasure in his swim.

This made me worry
And a simple conclusion;
Some animals like this duck,
Live in chaos and confusion.

I was almost in tears,
When I saw his condition,
So decided to show him
some extra love and compassion.

One near near the tank,
As I stood with my bread,
I broke & put a piece of it
And into the water it spread.

Then I saw an astounding thing;
The blind one came first,
And with his extraordinary smelling sense,
He ate the food in a burst.

The incident was amazing
And quite strange, in fact,
Even the petty small duck has got
Such sniffing- sense, for contact.

God has blessed them with
Other superb senses
Although He has taken away
The duck’s both lenses.

This drives me to a conclusion
That is heart-breaking, and rough;
Even for animals, life is tough,
Even for animals, life is tough.
