My Hope-Finder

As old as my grandpa
It has seen the world many times
But it’s locked in a safe now

Not coming out
Symbols from the gods
Adventure-scarred shell

It will be in my family for ever and ever
But for now it sits in my heart
The shine - my happiness
The grey - my anger

The arrow shows me the way to hope

Hooked to my heart
I can take it anywhere
The shell can’t be broken

Turtle-like
Rounded
It’s close to me
0, 90, 180, 270
North, East, South, West
That’s my compass
