Majestic Matriarch

This awesome mammal

pachyderms that walk the land

dominating the horizon

looking so majestic yet grand

plodding through the sparse scrub

she`s watching everything 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

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 these creatures roam

admiring all of Mother Earth
