Tiny webbed feet,
At the water’s edge.
Little duckling peeps,
From the reedy hedge.
Mama duck quacks,
“Come on in, don’t fear!”
Baby takes a step,
The pond now near.
Plop! Into the water,
With a splash so small.
Duckling paddle starts,
Not scary at all!
Round in circles,
With happy “quack quacks”.
First swim a success,
No looking back!
