Dolphin Delight
They leap so high,
Touching the sky,
With gleeful spin,
Bright smiles within.
Through waters blue,

A joyful race,
Full of pure grace.

They light the day,
Dolphins so free,
Dance in the sea.

A Moment in the Surf
A dolphin came near with a grin,
With a splash and a flip of its fin.
It danced through the wave,
So playful and brave,
Then vanished as quick as a pin.
In the surf, it made such a show,
With sunlight that gave it a glow.
It stayed for a flash,
A shimmering splash,
And back to the deep it would go.
That brief little visit, so bright,
Filled my heart with such pure delight.
It swam with a cheer,
So close and so near,
Then drifted away out of sight.

Carried by Waves
A dolphin rides high on the crest,
With speed and with grace, it is best.
It soars through the spray,
In rhythm all day,
With oceans beneath it, at rest.
It surfs on the rise and the fall,
No struggle, no hurry at all.
It leaps and it plays,
Through watery ways,
As if hearing the sea’s soft call.
Each wave is a path it can glide,
The ocean its partner, its guide.
So smooth and so free,
It flies through the sea,
With joy that it just cannot hide.

Oceans Apart
Two dolphins far apart they swim,
Across vast seas so wide and dim,
Yet still, their hearts are full of him.

Though oceans keep them far away,
Their spirits meet in ocean spray,
And love still carries them each day.

Sunlit Splash
A dolphin leaps high in the air,
The sun makes its skin gleam and glare.
It dives with a flash,
A bright, joyous splash,
And sparkles dance everywhere.
In the golden light, it does play,
Through shimmering seas of the day.
It jumps and it dives,
With all of its thrives,
Leaving sparkles in water’s sway.

A dance in the sun, oh so bright.

As part of the dream,
Of dolphins in glorious flight.

Joy Under the Surface
Beneath the waves, they twist and play,
In waters where sunbeams don’t stay.
With flips and with spins,
The fun never thins,
In their world, it’s always the day.
They dart and they dive with such glee,
A hidden world, wild and free.
In bubbles and light,
Their joy’s out of sight,
But there, it's pure harmony.
Though we don’t see the games they share,
Their laughter fills the ocean air.
Down under they smile,
In their secret style,
A world full of joy everywhere.
