Reunion At Lowell Ponds

Saw family of four
again here this morning
took a closer look with
my spy glass,

there's really five of
these enchanting living things
only four young ones,
mama makes five though.

Developing so rapidly and
swimming so fine.  As
the rest follow mama so close
one always lags behind.

Little legs pushes so well,
to catch up with rest,
of family so together
much to learn, before
mama lets them go.
