I sat on my porch,looking out o'er the bay,
What beauty I see before me today
Watching the seals as they frolic and play,
The water so peaceful,blue,green and gray.
What is this I see coming my way?
Ships of men,are now in the bay.
"Go! my friends!"to the seals,I say.
I look up to God, and I pray,
"Is there no other possible way
to control the seas without such display?"
"Yes.there is!",God said. I felt his dismay,
"And man will certainly have to pay,
for their doings in this array!"
A'las,evening has come,'tis the end of the day,
The men in their ships have gone away
And once again,I'm happy to say,
the waters so peaceful,blue,green and gray,
To God again I pray;
"Forgive mankind for what he's done today.
Please!oh Please! Show us the way,
to let the seals LIVE,to frolic and play"
