Analysis of The duckling
Nature is precious.it should be well looked after and kept with care.
There was once a duckling
As delicate and as fragile as ice
It lived in a beautiful pond.
One winter,the pond became ice
The duckling had to learn to survive
But she couldn't so she died.
God blessed her with a
Beautiful place in heaven
This duckling who had no brethren.
She still is seen quacking in
The ponds nearby
Her spirit lives though her body
Has died!!!
