Grey bodies heaving, lumbering, and tall.
Hidden in creases, kindly eyes, strangely small.
Huge flapping ears, a long branching trunk.
A tail to swot flys, from its sizeable rump.
Legs like thick pillars. Insurmountable in size.
Yet most striking of all - so beautifully wise.
Give thanks for the elephants, that roam
on this earth.
Graceful and gentle, we should realise their worth.
