Mole National Park, Ghana

'Twas two weeks before Christmas, in Mole National Park. And this was our view just as we disembarked.

The elephants were playing in the water hole with glee, while visions of getting closer occupied me! .

And the guard with his rifle and John in his cap could not settle down for this was no time to nap!

When up in the tree there arose such a clatter. Heather sprang from our room to find baboons all a chatter!

He was chubby and plump, a right jolly pachyderm, and we laughed when we saw him... and had so much to learn!

When what to our wondering eyes should appear....but a wandering warthog who gave us no fear.

And together we exclaimed as we drove out of sight... God Alone made it all... and He made it JUST RIGHT!
