If I Were An Elephant

“If I Were an Elephant” Too many people look past my beauty, Look too intently at my ivory. The huntsmen I fear, Of wildcats I steer clear. They all want what I am made of, Not what I am - not my wisdom, my peaceful demeanor. I stand tall, I stand proud I am closer to the stars, I admire each passing cloud. My young I shall teach to be strong, Though many look at us all wrong. I am tall, I am proud, I will not tilt my head, you will not see me bowed.
