I am a mystery of the earth Created by the imagination of children and yet I am real The world teaches me to be questioned by those who don't believe turtles show me wisdom sharks, survival I hide like an octopus, blending into my surroundings to keep me out of the naked eye ***** teach me how to defend myself and whales teach me patiences I travel with dolphins, and have fun on the beach I appear to humans rarely, but only for their minds to wonder what they have seen I live at ease but often in fear, because the world has changed through out the years I don't know where Im going, but I know I am the only Mermaid left to keep the world wondering.
