Away From Harm
The mother and her baby rhino
Lay sleeping on dried hay
In a sheltered safe enclosure
Away from harm’s way.
A blanket covering the baby
As both are settled in their bed
The mothers belly used as a pillow
A ranger lays down his head.
They will not join the others
In the wild savannah as before
For there are poachers who will kill
Leaving the babies in the gore.
We must give a helping hand
To Mother Nature in our own way
If we want these majestic rhinos
To survive for one more day.
