A little turtle slow and steady
Wanders by the pond always ready
But suddenly he's fallen off the log
Splashed into the water lost in the bog
He swims and he paddles with all his might
In the cool clear water without much light
But the turtle's heart is strong and true
He believes he'll make it through and through
Struggling and striving he won't give in
Fighting his way determined to win
Will he return to his log once more
To bask in the sun as he did before?
Through reeds and lily pads he navigates
Facing the challenges embracing his fate
The journey is tough the path unclear
But he moves forward conquering his fear
Struggling and striving he won't give in
Fighting his way determined to win
Will he return to his log once more
To bask in the sun as he did before?
The sun peeks through a guiding light
He keeps on going with all his might
Every ripple and wave he overcomes
A testament to the strength he's become
Voices of friends cheering him on
In the light of the morning to the break of dawn
With each little stroke he rises high
Closer to his goal reaching for the sky
Struggling and striving he won't give in
Fighting his way determined to win
Will he return to his log once more
To bask in the sun as he did before?
With the log in sight he draws near
Each step forward dispels his fear
Almost there he feels the end
A final push around the bend
Back on the log he finds his place
His journey done with a steady pace
Our little turtle brave and strong
Now he's home where he belongs
