The cracking of the new egg
A penguin arrives
Waddles, struggling to stay up,
whining, whincing, wailing and for its mother,
He grows and grows

Spring approaches, menacing March
leading to the stop of migration,
trying to impress,
they mate to make an egg
He grows and grows

The Mother lays the egg
excitement, dances around
feasting to survive the arctic,
Preparing for the life of her son
He grows and grows

Battling blazard storms,
protecting the future,
waiting weeks for meals
to hope the egg is a success
He grows and grows

After the long, lonely, and frosty
winter, the struggle pays
off, days past, sleeping,
eating, and enjoying life
He grows and grows

The cracking of the new egg
A penguin arrives
Waddles, struggling to stay up,
whining, whincing, wailing and for its mother,
He grows and grows
