Theme: Similarity

Motherly Instinct

I happened to see birds and animals in their natural surroundings

A group of rabbits by the side of a lake were briskly hopping

Suddenly they stopped and they were waiting

For their younger ones who were not keeping

Pace with them to join them in their hopping

Once they came near the elders, the younger ones started moving

Ahead of the elders, thinking they were overtaking.

Then the elders started following

At the same pace the younger ones were hopping.

 

On the other side of a lake, a group of swans were sauntering,

Their younger ones were following,

Suddenly the elder ones started flying

Then landed on the ground and kept waiting

But the younger ones jumped into the lake and started gliding

Hoping to overtake their elders at the point they were waiting

Once the youngsters reached them where they were standing

The elder swans too jumped into the lake and started gliding

With them, the skin colour of the swans and rabbits appearing

Similar, showing common affection for their offspring.
