Princess of the Sea
Beauty of the ocean
Mermaids they are,
They belong to the sea -
Have you seen one so far?
With long hair till their feet,
They dive in and out of water,
With smiles upon their faces,
Just like a joyful otter.
They're part fish part woman,
Whose eyes gaze beyond far
As creatures in search of peace,
They detest words like 'war'.
Long and colorful fishtails
On their legs and feet they wear
They are very less in number,
Hence are spotted very rare.
When sure that no one's around,
They sit up on the shore,
And sing with lovely voices -
Their songs are part of lore.
There might be a few winged mermaids,
Who fly up high in the sky,
Smiling down on the others,
Patiently swimming by.
There are reported sightings,
Of mermaids in olden times
And there even was a contest
With reward of 100 thousand dimes.
People say they now don't exist,
And will never come back, too,
But even so, I believe in them,
And always will - won't you?
