Tortoise
I have this little girl,
who loves to go outside.
She’s pretty in every manner,
she enjoys our nights together.
She’s small but brave,
slow yet fierce.
I wouldn’t trade her for the world,
or abandon her in any way.
I protect her with my life,
give her everything she needs.
I ask for nothing in return,
a simple gaze is more then enough.
I love my tortoise,
I love my little Cleopatra.
