A whale of a time 2017

We walked along the seashore
Just like many times before
Today we brought Jess and the children
To enjoy our favourite spot; for sure 
Hoping to share our peace; in wildness
As was our habit; our usual jaunt
I told of all the wonderful sea creatures
Pop and I had seen so many times before 
The seals; whales; dead sharks and dolphins
We wanted to share our prefect score
Just as we were speaking 
A movement caught my eye
There in the middle of the bay 
We saw some whales at play
Jess, Lakyn and Makenzie 

Were thrilled to be a part
Of these natural surroundings
As we enjoyed our exercise that day
A little further on; we saw the little seal
Basking upon the sun-warmed rocks
I was determined to walk closer
Taking hold of their little hands
We quietly meandered closer
Our voices hushed...
Up the seal jumped and quickly slipped away
Heading for Seal Island; just across the bay

Kaiden was at school on that glorious day
