The Porcelain Duck

by Louise aged 11

Coral, pink and porcelain,
Sculpted with precision,
Once a swan is shimmering waters,
In a loving position.

Over aching years,
Turning into porcelain,
Limb by limb a glistening shine,
Not seen by passing men.

Cradled by past relations,
Passing down the line,
Travelling through the nations,
Soon to become mine.
