Brave Little Turtle

A little turtle slow and steady Wanders by the pond always ready But suddenly he's fallen off the log Splashed into the water lost in the bog He swims and he paddles with all his might In the cool clear water without much light But the turtle's heart is strong and true He believes he'll make it through and through Struggling and striving he won't give in Fighting his way determined to win Will he return to his log once more To bask in the sun as he did before? Through reeds and lily pads he navigates Facing the challenges embracing his fate The journey is tough the path unclear But he moves forward conquering his fear Struggling and striving he won't give in Fighting his way determined to win Will he return to his log once more To bask in the sun as he did before? The sun peeks through a guiding light He keeps on going with all his might Every ripple and wave he overcomes A testament to the strength he's become Voices of friends cheering him on In the light of the morning to the break of dawn With each little stroke he rises high Closer to his goal reaching for the sky Struggling and striving he won't give in Fighting his way determined to win Will he return to his log once more To bask in the sun as he did before? With the log in sight he draws near Each step forward dispels his fear Almost there he feels the end A final push around the bend Back on the log he finds his place His journey done with a steady pace Our little turtle brave and strong Now he's home where he belongs
