Duckinations-a reflection on Life ?

Once upon a time, I was searching for Life
Of its many winding ways, of its myriad hues
The path was strewn with delight and strife
Strange in its ways, fraught with hidden clues

A friend walked in, forever to stay
to hold my hand and lead my way
what will I be , or who will I play?
A dream in his heart ,to gift me my day

we crossed the wild seas of fun and comedy
we thought within us, we fought in its glee
and just when we asked what more do we try
The Duck gave its wings and taught us to fly
