Love Letter
I will never forget our very first mating ritual,
some swans species are done in seconds . . .
but ours went on for over an H O U R !
Oh, the courtship dance was divine
and s u b l i m e .
For days and days we touched wings while drifting,
on the smooth water
and wasn't it lovely to preen together . . .
we dipped our beaks over and OVER,
I loved when you would just be still and watch me.
Our bodies touched smooth and g r a c e f u l ,
we never took our eyes off each other.
Soon our necks were intertwining (I loved that part).
and while we paddled our WI N G S spread
and you took me to the stars . . .
at one point you even pushed my head under the water, dear!
you make very s e x y snorts and groans.
And from that day we have been as one,
in perfect H A R M O N Y ,
and together we raised all those fluffy cygnets.
You are so protective to all our little ones,
don't you just love the first time they go for a swim.
With you as our HERO our family plays and sleeps in safety always,
thank you for being the best m a t e for life
and a great father . . .
