The Swan

Perched upon the harbour wall on a dusky summer night From the corner of my eye I spied a wonderous sight A graceful pure white swan with four cygnets in a line This image was so wonderful; it was simply divine Young cygnets covered in their fine downy feathers Will follow their mother through all types of weather They glided past so peacefully I sat and stared in awe I could watch these birds for hours and be wanting more They floated up on the water and finally reached the shore I watched them nestle up together then headed for my door Jan Allison 25th June 2014
