My Tropical Fish

Fish are swimming all around Moving with no sound Pink, yellow and gold Some fish even glow They stare at me in the morning I stare back wondering at their glory Swimming through the bubbles Swiftly through the tunnels They beg like dogs Darting through their logs Looking for their share Swimming around with no care Reacting when I am waving Brilliant colors swaying Frolicking with their friends Twirling as their tail extends Hearing a smack When one attacks Survival of the fittest Won by the biggest Life can be short Without my support Keeping the tank clean With my weekly routine Hoping they don’t get sick With bloat or ich Watching them close To prevent any loss Thankful at night When I can’t sleep As they help me relax Until I can nap
