The Beautiful Duckling


She opened her eyes Took a couple steps Looked into the pond And into its depths She saw her reflection She thought she was beautiful They called her out She looked different from the rest She didn't know why They called her ugly at the best And though her parents disowned her She thought she was beautiful Now she's a woman In another park She met another swan And she won his heart ‘Cause although she is different She knows she is beautiful
