Ode to the turtle

Oh you mighty turtle you,
crawling in the grass,
what would summer bee without you?
Without your courageous hike up the hill,
just to lay your eggs,
what would inspire me,
to take risks,
without you?
What would we look forward too,
without the tittles,
hatching in the fall,
how would they get there,
without you?
Slow and steady wins the race,
this means nothing,
without you.
