Ducks in a Row

She's squirming

Each turning

Pains me

Want her set free

I see as she tries

The fear in her eyes

The life she has sown

Fear of the unknown

Homework undone at the gaits

The teacher waits

Her praying posture gives her hope

It helps her cope

Get your ducks out of the pond

Put them in a row

Don't be a worm stepped upon

When it's your time to go
