Whales For Tomorrow

Deep blue sea mammals 
Cetaceans so grand
Its hard to believe
They originated on land
 
Dolphins, porpoises
Our many Whales
What ever size
Beautiful in sail
 
Toothed and baleen
Identifies them
Plankton feeders
Echolocation gems
 
To stop the hunting
It's a must
Protect the whales
In us they trust
 
To have a world 
Where the whales have gone
All other species will think
It won't be long


" This poem is for Karen O' Leary and all other whale lovers "

I didn't know whales originated on land, but I guess all mammals did. This is a beautiful poem and I couldn't agree more with the need to protect our beautiful sea creatures! Love, carolyn
