“A Dolphin’s Quest”
Hawaii has an adventure
That is really a diver’s treat
You can swim with manta rays
Truly amazing guys to meet
During a starry night dive
Giant rays were a swimming
Soon to be an encounter
As the sunset was dimming
In the spotlight rays swarmed
The divers heard a loud squeal
A bottlenose dolphin arrived
He wasn’t looking for a meal
He approached a diver
Who noticed a hook and line
Around his fin to his lip
His movement it did confine
The diver made a gesture
As if you would call a dog
Wanting him to come closer
Out of the dark murky fog
The dolphin came closer
For the diver to see
Why he needed help
Why he had a plea
The fish line had pinched
Worn into a deep groove
So that the bound fin
He could hardly move
Careful pulling and tugging
At the line, to get it free
Then the dolphin rolled over
So the diver could better see
Only one wrap could he free
So careful not to scare
Then the dolphin surfaced
To get a breath of air
In a flash he was back
For needed help and care
You see he really knew
The diver had more to share
Dolphins always seem to smile
This one was on a quest
He wanted and needed help
Found a diver at his best
As the camera man filmed
The whole adventure was recorded
So we could all see the wonder
Be amazed and rewarded
