About Wouldn't it be strange if . . .
Roads never ended
And time never passed.
Words were not spoken
And friendships didn't last.

No winners or losers
And flies didn't fly
A moon was unheard of;
Stars weren't in the sky.

Snowflakes were scarce
And raindrops were few.
Leaves didn't change
And grass never grew.

The passing of seasons
Was too subtle to see.
Sunsets weren't magnificent
And a smile wasn't free.

When you turned on the faucet,
Water didn't flow.
When you flicked up the switch,
The light bulb didn't glow.

Babies didn't giggle
And children didn't play.
Eyes didn't twinkle
And priests didn't pray.

Artists didn't paint
And writers didn't write.
No country singer ever
Sang of their plight.

Miracles didn't happen
And dogs didn't bark.
Clear water didn't sparkle
And the world was always dark.

Dolls weren't soft and sweet;
Teddy bears didn't cuddle.
You couldn't see your reflection
When you looked into a puddle.

What if we didn't have the little miracles
That most people treat like change?
What if we had nothing to be grateful for?
Wouldn't that be strange?

This is a CritiqueCorner, and I would only suggest that a long lens could have left the ducks sharp and blurred the background, which I take it is supposed to be the 'less important'. Lower angle and closer on the ducks, filling more of the shot. Best if they were sidelit, etc, which may not have been possible at that moment.

And on yoru image, i's brilliant. Great how you composed keeping the foreground in. Those waddling creatures give it that "same ole same ole" feel making this not just another souvenier pic! I enjoyed this one lots!
