The Turtle

It is as green as freshly fallen leaves,
The Turtle is sometimes a symbol of luck or good health. It’s shell is as hard as rock.
It is a turtle who swims in the sea, swish, whish, wash, go the waves.
Does it have fishy friends?
It’s home is the ocean, chomping away it’s food.
This turtle is my symbol of the generations of the girls in the family.
When it walks away in the waves thinking about the days it will live.
In my heart it will always be there.
My turtle is the oldest thing in my home,
Now it shall always have a special place in my heart.
I will have it as long as I shall live to be passed on and on and on to my family of the future in memory of my family from the past.
My family’s hearts live on through this turtle.
