We Are One
Blowhole sighed as he looked at his reflection. He placed a flipper on his metal eye. He scowled, hating his image.
"I'm a freak." He spat at himself.
Crystal walked in seeing her son.
"Hello Victor." She smiled.
"Why do I have to look so different?" he asked.
Crystal looked at him in shock.
"What do you mean sweetie?"
Blowhole frowned.
"I have a metal eye mother! I'm the only dolphin in the world that has only one eye! I'm a freak mother!"
Crystal jumped onto her son's Segway, cupping his face.
"Honey. What would make you think that? You know you're special."
"But why do I to be so different? I wish I never had this metal eye!" he crossed his flippers and pouted.
Crystal frowned gently at her son.
"That's like saying you don't want to be a dolphin. It's in your blood." She replied, jumping down and grabbing his flipper pulling him outside of his lair.
They walked around Central Park. Crystal looked at birds' nest in a tree with baby birds. She smiled and started singing.
"As you go through life you'll see, there is so much that we, don't understand."
A little bird flew up and was quickly ushered back by its mother.
"And the only thing we know is things don't always go, the way we planned."
Blowhole nodded absently as he watched the baby bird. Crystal nudged him to watch a family of baby rabbits and their mom bound to their burrow.
"But you'll see every day, that we'll never turn away. When it seems all your dreams come undone,"
One of the smallest rabbits began bounding away as fast as it could, jumping up and kicking up its feet joyfully. The mother rabbit bounded around him and herded it back to its siblings.
"We will stand by your side, filled with hope and filled with pride."
Crystal jumped on a tree, causing Blowhole to look up at her.
"We are more than we are; We are one!"
Crystal jumped down into a field, grasshoppers hopping away. Blowhole followed her then stopped at a fountain, looking at his reflection. He started to sing.
"If there's so much I must be, Can I still just be me, The way I am?"
Blowhole looked at her.
"Can I trust in my own heart, Or am I just one part, Of some big plan?"
Crystal looked at the clouds, winding blowing as she started to sing again.
"Even those who are gone are with us as we go on. Your journey has only begun."
Crystal smiled at him, grabbing his flipper.
"Tears of pain, tears of joy, One thing nothing can destroy, Is our pride, deep inside, We are one!"
She belly slid away, Blowhole going after her.
"We are one, you and I; We are like the earth and sky! One family under the sun."
They splashed through splashed through puddles and dodged trees heading home.
"All the wisdom to lead, All the courage that you need,"
She stood on top of a tree branch, looking down at her son as she smiled at him.
"You will find when you see, We are one!"
Crystal jumped on the Segway, smiling at him seeing his confused face.
"Don't worry honey. You're not a freak. You're a handsome young dolphin." She kissed his cheek. "You'll understand one day. She jumped down, going back to the lair. Blowhole smiled up at the little bird he saw earlier and watched as it flew off, disappearing against the setting sun. Crystal's words ran through his head as he sat and watched the sunset. We are one…
