“All creatures love in many ways- and how they show it will amaze”. _by Poet Close to the glass, the mom lifted her up- dressed in a yellow romper with bows and wispy, blonde hair circling her head. He then came closer to the glass and sat intently facing her; with his deep, dark eyes- yet with a gentle twinkle, he looked calmly into her blue eyes. She stared at him for a moment; just a few inches apart- each from a different world. And yet, he knew she was precious. Quickly, he pressed his lips against the glass- that showed her pink cheek on the other side. With gentle love, the Gorilla lingered for a moment- then offered her his sweet, silent kiss.
