My fish in the bowl,
Tiny and fragile as an eggshell,
I watch you grow,
I watch you sleep,
I make sure you are never hungry and lonely.

My fish in the Bowl,
I never let you leave your small bowl,
I know if you do you'll die,
I always do the needful,
Kissing you goodnight and good morning everyday.

My fish in the bowl,
Your colour shines so bright,
I sometimes wonder if you and I were ever meet to meet,
Your fancy eyes stare at me whenever I talk,
You always listen even though you can respond.

My fish in the bowl,
You're a Friend.... A really good friend,
Sometimes I wish to touch your fragile body,
But I know I can't or I'll lose you.

My fish in the bowl,
It's hard to imagine how big you've grown,
It felt like yesterday when you landed at my doorstep,
I know it's already time....
Time to let you go and live your own life. Without me.....
But with people of your kind,
I hope you enjoy your time there,
I hope to see you again.... Before times says no
