Australian Sea Lion

I swim through the deep dark water.                                                                                    
What will happen when I'm gone?                                                                                           

I glide to the surface like a flash of silver in the salty sea.                                                      
My silky skin shimmers like a shell shining on the beach.                          

Stare into my eyes and you will see a deep dark pool of black and blue.

My tail is a glittering rudder, pushing me through the water.                                    
My whiskers are strands of grey string that help me sense exactly where my food is.                                                                                                                  

My species is disappearing, one day I might die out for good.                       
When I'm gone will you remember me?
