My Response To James K. Baxter Poem

         It is important to know that when you are helped you won't always get something in return.

The dove was big and strong, why would he help the little ant?

When the man came the dove had no idea he was in grave danger.

The ant immediately came to the rescue and saved the dove's life as the dove had done for him.

I hope that in life there will always be a person to pick you up when you fall.

 Peter Snell wins gold in the 1500 m final in the Tokyo Olympics

I wonder why he is called Snell as a last name, in dutch it translates to fast.

Coincidence? I don't think so!

The peaceful 3 master cruising quickly.

A Greenpeace sailboat gliding peacefully.

The metal ship sailing relaxingly.

A salty wind whistling loudly.

The fresh air blowing gently.

A clear ocean rippling slowly.

The white dove representing peace.
