Who Is Calling The Shots

Whales were all around their little boat

Had a camera to control manually and not by remote

Out in the water they leapt, the husband and his wife

It was a one in a lifetime chance, the best in their life

So the wife swam with the giants and her husband photographed

Clips of natural gaiety, we saw her laughed

And as she bounced from the water, so too did the whale

Like in unison they played and the video tells the tale

Languishing there was good but it was time to go

I saw her attempt to swim but her playmate said no

Not yet it seemed to say as it grabbed her gently

Got a hold on her ankle and took her deep, in the sea

The camera caught her going down about 60’ deep

Had no more oxygen in her lungs but rather than weep

Earnestly rubbed the creature on its eye

She thought of her son before she would die

Her solemn body arched still, there was no swimming back

Once the creature saw this, its intelligence didn’t lack

The gentle creature darted to the surface and in a gush of air

She felt God’s work as the His creature brought her from despair
