Notes About The Poem

My granddaughter and a sweet Dolphin at Isla Mujeres (Isle of Women), 
near Cancun, Mexico, 2003

Sweet Dolphin Memory


With Dolphins, she swam!  A glorious day,
for granddaughter, so many years ago.
I watched two gentle beings interplay,
each, nose to nose and eye to eye- aglow.
    
This was her highlight of our Cancun trip-
to touch the Dolphin's satiny smooth skin,
feel warm emotion kissing, lip to lip,
and see the gentle love in his sweet grin.
    
Our Dolphins, much like us, can understand- 
more than we seem to give them credit for. 
The care for humankind at their command;
intelligent, they show their loving core.     

This special time will stay with her and me-
forever, as our treasured memory.

Indeed, you and your granddaughter will never forget this experience. There's something "magical" about interacting with dolphins. Another great sonnet from a master! Hugs, carolyn
