They said '...be prepared you may have to trek all day',But ten minutes was all it took, we hardly went out of our way.And then there he was lounging up against a tree,The silverback relaxed right in front of me.I caught my breath at the sight of this spectacular creature,His shimmering silver torso was his finest feature.His ladies were foraging in the trees up high,He was waiting for them to come down so he could move on by.We went deeper into the forest hoping for more of his family to meet,Gradually the gorillas surrounded us, it was truly a treat.The tiny baby clung tightly to her mum,Others were tumbling and playing, having lots of fun.Only 750 mountain gorillas remain on this earth,The joy and happiness they bring, proves their true worth.On a very special day they welcomed me into their home,May they always be with us, free to forage and roam.
