Be Thankful for the Dolphins
Carma Haley Shoemaker


Do you ever wonder what the dolphins know? Do they know that it's Thanksgiving? Do they take extra time and move extra slow To show thanks for the life they are living?

Does mother earth hold their heads in her beautiful lap? Does she tell them to hang on strong? Do they know that we love them when they die in our trap? And that we mean to do them no wrong?

The little treasures of love, of life and of earth Sometimes get away from our view. If we take a moment to remember the hearth We'd know that dolphins have families, too.

Taking a moment to think of our globe In all that it has become, May cause us to wonder, question or probe, And ask, "What have we done?"


It was their world first, long before we evolved They were swimming and playing for days. We looked at their world and our problems were solved, "Divide and conquer" was our key phrase.

So while we move into our ocean view dwellings And gaze lovingly at the sea, Remember whose land we are buying and selling It didn't belong to you and me.

Do dolphins know that it is Thanksgiving? Do they know we have chosen our ways? Do they offer thanks for the life they are living? For their life could be ended in days...

Without these creatures and the others that live Upon this world that we mold The life that we know and we would never give Would not be so brass or so bold.

So, in your prayers and sayings of creed, Remember the ones we forsake. Make an apology to their kind and to their breed And give back that of which we take.


This poem was written in memory for all the dolphins that have met their demise due to human carelessness, greed, and senseless gain. It is also dedicated to all of those who have worked through many a holiday season to help protect the species of dolphins, and other endangered animals, by giving of themselves, without thought as to "why."
