My Kind of Mermaid

My little mermaid

She whispers of land
My sweet mermaid
Reefs glow by her hand

Adorned with pearls
Her soft hair is never cut
Her gaze flows like the current
Yet her ears stay shut

Lucky little mermaid
Singing "Why must I have gills?"
Naive hopeless mermaid
Shallow coasts never fill

My kind of mermaid
Swims deeper with care
My brave mermaid
Searches for truth not air

 Under the water pressure
Her strong bones never break

Her scales lock like chainmail
Beauty no longer fake

My kind of mermaid 
Find what Land doesn't know
My growing mermaid
Love absent truth is shallow
