These awesome mammals
pachyderms that walk the land
dominating the horizon
looking so majestic and grand
Plodding through the sparse scrub
she`s watching every thing around
able to keep the herd in check
with just one single low sound
Her presence is so powerful
yet she`s such a loving creature
need to protect these elephants
they are a national treasure
With two curled ivory tusks
and her long slender trunk swaying
this wonderful old matriarch
her sparkling eyes she`s displaying
So through this awesome landscape
watching these animals walk by
lets remember they are dwindling
we need to keep the numbers high
Standing here watching the Savannah
knowing all life here has it`s worth
I love to see the creatures roam
admiring all of Mother Earth
