HURTLE WITH THE TURTLE
Stick your neck out just a little...
And see how far you get
Maybe another answer
Will involve you getting wet ?
So dive a little deeper
The shore is always near
Making your way back to land
Never scared to swim...
The Adrenalin.!..!..!.
My helping hand
Keeps me close to sand.
Protected....I remain here...
As life pushes me to the brink
I question why I'm not extinct ?
Giving myself time to think...
I'm soft inside
But when I need to hide
I swallow my pride and confide...
My shell has proven it's strength....!
So at a turtle's pace
I create my space
A secret place....
Where slow and steady
Wins the race..!
Thus a turtle
From lands
Prehistoric....
Is sharing these words
His hopes
Rhetoric...
Living and existing
Should never be compared.
As the turtle lives...
This knowledge he gives
Thus his ancient wisdom is shared..

Dear Carey Milton,
A fabulous write, I love it, You have depicted a life with a comparison with that of the turtle. My love, My applause, My vote. I reserve this poem for my POET'S PEN. I love the entire poem, specially the below mentioned.
Turtles are reptiles characterized by a special bony shell developed from their ribs and acting as a shield. Turtle may refer to the chelonian order as a whole or to fresh-water and sea-dwelling chelonians
Turtles are ectotherms —their internal temperature varies according to the ambient environment, commonly called cold –blooded cold-However, because of their high metabolic rate,leather back sea turtles have a body temperature that is noticeably higher than that of the surrounding water.
Regards & Love
