The Nasrallah Odyssey: A Celebration of the Sea's Beauty and Mystery
The beauty of the ocean, the wonders of the sea,
Are something to treasure, something to revere,
A world so diverse, so full of mystery,
A world that we must work hard to protect and to steer.
For the Nasrallah fish, it's a journey so far,
From their original home to a foreign land,
Their presence felt, their impact bizarre,
A symbol of change, a story so grand.
As they gather and mimic, they show us the way,
To be strong, to be fearless, to stand up and fight,
To defend our homes, to protect every bay,
To make sure that the future is always in sight.
And so we must heed their lesson so true,
To keep our planet healthy, to keep our oceans blue,
To cherish each creature, every plant, every hue,
For the Nasrallah fish, and for me and for you.
In literature around the world, we see,
The beauty of nature, the wonder of the sea,
From Melville's Moby-Dick to Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea,
To Homer's Odyssey, a timeless journey for all to see.
The sea is a symbol of life, of mystery, of hope,
A world of adventure, a world of scope,
And in the Gulf of Eilat, we see the beauty of the eel catfish,
A reminder of the fragile balance, a reminder to cherish.
So let us remember the Nasrallah fish,
And the lesson they teach us, a lesson so rich,
Let us be stewards of the ocean, and let us be bold,
For the future of our planet, for the future to hold.
