Two Dolphins

Two dolphins traveled the oceans wide
And met far from home at sea one night,
United, they shared their watery home,
Swam the rough waters - never alone,
They raised little dolphins with loving care,
So they'd do well when they left their lair,
Then papa dolphin got sick and felt bad
And his mate became desperate and very sad,
And the sick dolphin swam in circles,
Did not know where he was,
And grew thinner and thinner,
His eyes looked like glass,
While his mate tried to save him in his plight,
But he drowned at sea one dark, stormy night,
And now, one lonely dolphin, left to her fate,
Cruises the oceans, still looking for her mate...
