The Dolphins’ Song

The sea, the sea, the sea!
Only out here are we free.
With a flip of our tails
We dive among whales!
Forever so happy are we!

The sea, the sea, the sea!
Far from the land we did flee.
For once we were men,
But never again
A life on the shore shall we see!

The sea, the sea, the sea!
This is the place we should be.
We frolic along
And sing forth our song:
Forever so happy are we!

© Jacqui G., Trumbull, CT

The author's comments:
This was based off the legend that dolphins were humans who fled from the land and lost their humanity by changing into dolphins to live in joy forever.
