Dolphins

Ripples upon the water Followed by a sudden splash Out of the corner of my eye All I saw was a shiny gray flash Patiently waiting for it to emerge So I can confirm just what I saw Suspecting there was two of them But wondering if there was more Then just as before out of the water they shot Twisting and diving back in Making a noise almost a laugh Around us they started to swim Reaching out into the water Wanting them to come up near We patted their heads while they laughed at us And we knew we had nothing to fear They stayed and played with us for a while Loving all of our attention It was amazing to us just how much These dolphins enjoyed the affection Time passed and it's like they knew It was time for them to go So with a huge leap and wave of their tail They swam away in the water below
