    The Beauty of the Bay
    Listen to Garrett Chiaramonte's reading
    I’ve always loved the bay
    But today I can call it a passion
    People often wonder why I care so much
    I have no reply
    Having seen the things I have
    How could I not
    A great Blue Heron stretching its wings
    Bristling with energy it pumps its powerful wings
    Gracefully propelling itself through the air
    A newborn turtle paddling gently against the current
    Its head bobbing slightly
    Almost to a rhythm
    The great Blue Crab scurrying swiftly across the deck of an ancient skipjack
    Its shell glistening under the sun
    All precious
    All beautiful
    All so fragile
    Yet what I find most beautiful are the people
    The people who care about the bay
    The people who protect the bay
    And the same people who helped cultivate my own passion for the bay
    These people truly are the essence of the bay
