Turtles

Mother so compassionate and green
laying her eggs near a beautiful scene
She needs to dig to keep us warm
so we don't get eaten before we are born
Then mother goes back to the sea
After a few days we all hatch
all of us walk in one fresh batch
While the birds swoop from the highest peaks
my siblings and I dodge their beaks
trying to escape without a scratch
We finally reach the sea
Now we're all in glee
Now for the first time
While the sun shines
All of us are now free
I am an adult now
there are so many things to say wow
Fish, Coral, Dolphins and Sharks
Some of them even glow in the dark
and now I'm so proud
