Diving
into the shadowy waters.
Obediently
following the king of the sea.
Lightly
hovering behind the reef.
Pleading their
children to come with them.
Hissing a song
to their young.
In helping
their injured young.
No smooth
edges on the coral reef rock.
Shimmering in
the distance comes the shark. Oh no!! Do you know what happens next?
