Dolphin School

I sat on the rocks and looked at the sea

and oh, what a treasure awaited me,

for as my gaze swept over the scene

a dolphin emerged there, all agile and lean.

His pleasure was clear as he somersaulted

over the water from which he catapulted

and I wondered what else still dwelt below

the dark waters that fascinated me so.

I bet there were plenty of fish all around,

yet not one of them made a single sound

and aside from the dolphins, they all seemed to know

that it was safer to hide, than to put on a show.

Then I wondered if there was a lesson for me

hidden in all that I could not see;

sometimes God asks me to simply believe

and to remember the eye can also deceive.
