Manta rays

You glide across the ocean,

Like an eagle in the sky,

So gracefully,

So elegant,

So beautifully fine.

I see you in the ocean

Your mouth wide and large,

Filtering any plankton,

And fish you can find

You are the giant of the sea,

A beautiful creature

All I want is to see you more,

Come out of your hiding,

Stay strong and bold

Forget about the rating,

the endangerment

Just be a friendly manta ray.
