Ugly Duckling
An odd little duckling, dull and grey,
Was shunned by the farm animals every day.
"Why don’t you look like us?" they jeered.
He wandered alone, feeling unloved and weird.
He watched others fly, swim, and sing,
Wishing he could be anything.
Time moved on, and feathers changed hue
He was now white, tall, and gracefully new.
Even the proudest goose gave a nod.
✨Moral: Don’t judge the bud before it blossoms.
