My Turtle Friend from Christmas Island

My turtle friend from Christmas Island 
climbs up the sand to me 
she digs a great big deep deep hole
just by my feet. 
My turtle friend from Christmas Island 
swims through the blue lagoon 
she swallows what she thinks is
a tasty piece of food. 
My turtle friend from Christmas Island 
climbs up the dry dry sand 
she takes one last long drawn breath 
and lays her heavy head.
