With a crack on the egg, I was finally out549Please respect copyright.PENANATmaSJ0DRLx
I had made my presence known with a small penguin shout549Please respect copyright.PENANAEPM1LFGifK
The egg was broken, open and torn549Please respect copyright.PENANA3TxmZWhMPv
That was when I, a baby penguin was born
I had waddled and waddled only to roll onto the ground549Please respect copyright.PENANAvTTNArJAOU
I was a fluffy grey ball that my father had found549Please respect copyright.PENANANLKJqCsdi2
I had tucked myself into his comfy warm feathers549Please respect copyright.PENANAC4Gm2lnTiw
He gave me a name then, I was named Heathers
However, I am no longer a chick549Please respect copyright.PENANAsJktq2AgrA
And there are many things that I can now see549Please respect copyright.PENANAEBQN6bx5Fm
It all came together with a click549Please respect copyright.PENANAIp8h33780n
I came to realize just how cold the winter can be
If I stumble and fall, and for him, I will call549Please respect copyright.PENANAOaozcsjShA
Will he still waddle to me? Will he come at all?549Please respect copyright.PENANA1IRUYOjf5b
I am my daddy’s beloved penguin, or so I’ve been told549Please respect copyright.PENANATP46ycksEF
But things became clear as time made me old
I am no longer my daddy’s beloved penguin549Please respect copyright.PENANAwBnX76374i
I am no longer his angel sent from above549Please respect copyright.PENANAoKjcYXb5ai
He still feeds me fish, but is this love?549Please respect copyright.PENANAYx6Ci4FZE7
I was never his angel, but he’s still my god up above
My penguin daddy takes good care of me549Please respect copyright.PENANACgsFns2pTL
I still love him a lot as you can see549Please respect copyright.PENANABU3aqJQfdx
But why does it feel as if he’s already gone?549Please respect copyright.PENANAGXcdoMehFt
I had thought that nothing was wrong
Small marks on ice have become great cracks549Please respect copyright.PENANAjo1FL5Auqx
Even the snow has become a remnant of what we once had549Please respect copyright.PENANAt5lz9RIoUy
Was it something we did? Was it something we lacked?549Please respect copyright.PENANAIH3Y0fpUPC
I just want my penguin daddy to come back
I know what he’s done. I know who he is549Please respect copyright.PENANALkzbg1Jf1v
But that doesn’t change the fact that I’m still his kid549Please respect copyright.PENANAi6rjcohxpV
A chick that has grown, but still loves him so549Please respect copyright.PENANA20aKO4UUeT
But now I’m not sure if he’ll ever come home
