Literature Text

Oh beautiful creature, how must you have lived
How must you have died
I see you now
Big, strong, magestic
Now reduced to this
We still love you
Still respect you
Respect your decaying form
Though your body will soon leave us
Gong but never forgotten
We will keep your bones, treasure you
Treasure your beauty
Your song may be gone from us
Gone forever
Yet your soul lives on
Just saw a 60 year old sperm whale on TV. It's dead, of course, washed up on the beach. But something about it and everyone touching it with such respect I had to write SOMETHING
