Poetry
"Whale"
Hail, Oh majestic creature of the sea!
You roam beneath the ocean so free.
How do you know just where to go
In all of that water way down below?
Men have tried to catch you with no avail.
You have brought them in their quest, travail.
Yet every day some make plans to set sail,
And once again, "There she blow", they hail!
You are the mighty invincible powerful whale.
The men all gather lining along the ship's rail
To watch you dive, surface, and see your tail,
And you perform for them freely without fail.
If I could ride you, what a ride that would be,
Bobbing up and down on the back of a whale,
Sowing with the thread of a water wake trail,
The blanket of the ocean that I see around me.
Down under the water's cover slowly we go,
Showing me sights before that I did not know.
You serenade me with a unique sound of "Hello"
Greeting your friends and family that you love so.
I am amazed at your gentleness and graceful form,
And how bravely you plunge and weather any storm.
Your secret of your greatness men try to understand,
But the only answer is that you're part of God's plan.
Men have tried to use you for their greed and profit.
God used you to bring Nineveh, Jonas, His prophet.
I learn how precious you are from days gone by.
I want to ride you to where the water meets sky.
If there ever was a creature that is men's friend,
I think it is you, Big Mighty Friend Until the End.
If you ever have trouble, you I will help defend.
Because for a special creature like you, I will fend.
There are many whale tales that have been told.
They have come to us from the days of old.
This is my tale of a whale; I share with you,
And now it is your whale tale too!
