I wish I could always be there to help,
Never just cheering on from far away,
But like a fixed and rooted bed of kelp
Watching a baby sea otter at play
I can provide some cover while you're here,
Make the sea bed attractive to your prey,
But never follow you. Once you are clear,
I can but watch and hope that you will stay
Safe and contented, while I stand and wave,
Wishing you all the best. I have no way
To move, or to from thence protect or save.
But unlike kelp, at least, I get to say
I love you, and I hope once things are sped
You will return and grace again this bed.
