They carry forth

Unaware

Of the troubles that lie

Undetected

They venture to the blues and greens

Traveling in line

Even when they reach

They find suffeiring

Yet they will survive

Keep their species alive

Like a child in a biting storm

Running home from school

These hardened souls

These little children

Lost in the waves of life

Struggle to surface once more

These turtles of time
