Fragrant and colorful that I am,
I float upon the surface of my home, the calm, relaxing 
Pond
How waxy and buoyant I am
Leaves me with sleek,
Shiny coat
I am emerald green and
Very vibrant
I see copies of me along
the surface of the pond
Even we all look the same
We are beautiful in all our
Different ways
