I will call you Shamou, it's a gentle name,
I want you to grow strong but remain tame.
Soon I'll send you on a journey down the sea.
To a place where you'll be trained to be gentle as me.
It's located in San Diego not very far from the zoo,
At Mission Bay where they train whales & dolphins to be cool.
It's time my son for your journey to San Diego Cal,
And on your way I want you to meet a new pal.
Be sure to guide and show them the way,
To that cool place down next to Mission Bay.
It's been five days now since Shamou left home,
He's very tired and weak and remains alone.
There straight ahead Shamou came across,
A young dolphin who seemed to be lost.
I'm Shamou the whale who might you be,
Why I'm a young dolphin my name is help4me.
My mom Flipper told me of a place near the zoo
Where they train dolphins & whales how to be cool.
The two of them arrived at the Sea World Park,
It's was still a bit sunny but soon to be dark.
I'm Shamou and here's my friend help4me,
Our moms sent us on this journey down the sea.
I want to be clever & witty and entertain at the show,
My mom said you can train me and show me how to glow.
My pop is mighty killer, I don't want to follow his way,
That's why I took the journey to the cool place by the bay. And so the two friends had found their way
to the cool school down by the bay.
They learned to perform on command,
with signals given by the trainer’s hand.
Shamou the whale was a sight to see.
He was the best that there could ever be.
The tricks he performed pleased all who came
To witness the talent of the whale now tame.
The gentleness of the magnificent Shamou,
Was a far reaching gift from him to you.
The compassion in his heart could lift the veil,
And break the chains so love could sail,
Into those hearts that could only weep.
A ray of hope that no words can speak.
Help4me the dolphin learned a thing or two
From the mighty whale called Shamou.
She learned about friendship, compassion and gratitude,
To never be a victim, and to keep a positive attitude.
More than learning to perform on command,
Help4me listened, and began to understand
That there was more to life than swimming the sea,
One must strive to be the best that one can be.
And so she took these lessons to heart
A new beginning, an adventure to start.
A tale has been told to you and to me
About these two friends from the sea.
A message I hope it brings to you,
This story about help4me and Shamou.
I hope that someone will continue the tale
About this dolphin and Shamou the whale. |
