Gentle manatee gliding through the water Gently swimming down the river Going toward the spring so clear Eating vegetation Taking in air Heading toward the spring so clear Staying with the herd Nursing their young Oh Gentle manatee Going toward the spring so clear ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I hope you like. This is my 3rd and final poem for the day. Thanks to everybody who likes my poetry. Julie Cold hands means a warm heart |

I think that I shall never see none as gentle as the manatee gliding, as you say, from here to there tending it's young with meticulous care no, I think that I shall never see none gentle as the manatee... loved this... ~R.T. "I shall never bond again, as I have bonded with you..." |

Hello Julie I really liked this as I had recently watched a documentary on the manatee and found them to be fascinating creatures. Take care......Sue Suetang |

A trusting and gentle animal who is threatened by it's placid nature and our encraochment. Enjoyed |

Thanks for sharing this. Those incredibly gentle sea cows deserve our TLC, our efforts to clean up their watery habitat, and to stop injuring and killing them with our giant water "human" toys. |

~Find them and this poem to be quite special. Know of one who helped push a friend's fallen nephew from the water. Enjoyed this. *Peace. |

Now that you mention it, manatees are quite gentle, aren't they? Wow, I love this... have you considered submitting it for the book? "Faith" means the will to avoid knowing what is true. |
