Sea Cow
By Harris Tobias
I saw the sea cow and her calf Pass below me on the bridge I saw them Take a breath and carry on So calm in manner and in mind I marveled at their strength Their length and breadth So docile and peaceful is their kind Despite their size They could do no harm Even were they so inclined We could learn a lot from giants so benign
Someone in our family many years ago caught one in his pound net. The crew rushed to free her while he took pictures. They really are quite large. Nice poem. Thanks for taking me down memory lane.
