Blindside
The gander was an ugly creature
which no one paid no heed
although he loved everybody
no matter shape or creed
the little duckling flapped his wings
and chirped his bright orange beak
people only pointed and laughed
because he couldn't speak
or maybe they weren't listening
to his words, though wise
for that was just a facade
for the victims of his disguise
one day a boy came along
blind as a bat
he couldn't see the ugly
but rather liked his quack
they came to be best of friends
accepting each other with love
to his suprise, the duckling tranformed
into a supreme from far above
he said my child, you are so pure
it brings tears to my eyes
since you saw me how I am
I shall restore your sight
and furthermore, you are so pure
I am no longer without faith
there is still good in humankind
my creation shall be saved
the boy did not yet understand
what he did so blind
one day will come when he is grown
and shall lead us all, through time
