She fell into the sea on a warm spring day where clouds were thick.
Her parents tried to rescue her but she disappeared good and quick.
Traveling down to the depths of the sea in a whale’s warm mouth.
The whale knew she was being abused at home by father, a louse.
So he rescued her like his own daughter, raised her up on the coral reef.
Took her to the surface often to breathe, living here was a huge relief.
She thrived in the sea which took away her pain and helped her to trust again.
The sea creatures became her family, confidants, neighbors and friends.
She was encouraged to reinvent herself, so she gave herself a new name.
For now that she was being loved and nurtured, she was forgetting her pain.
She was Aryanna, the maiden of the clear blue ocean and vast deep blue sea.
She was empathetic and as gentle to the turtles and fish as she could ever be.
She became happier and more trusting every day,
Decided to officially turn into a mermaid with fins, deciding to stay.
Sea was overjoyed had loved her since discovering her at the age of three.
She is waiting to help others, in the prettiest part of the deep blue sea.

She who had been rescued, became more trusting every day,
Turned into a mermaid with fins. Traded in her limbs, deciding to stay.
Overjoy sea had loved her since discovering her at age of three.
She is waiting to help every child in the prettiest part of the deep sea.
