Turtles

In the ocean blue and green,

A majestic creature can be seen.

Slowly swimming through the waves,

A sea turtle, with a life to save.

Plastic bags and nets of twine,

Discarded fishing lines that bind.

These are the threats they face,

A world of trash that's out of place.

But we can make a difference, you and I,

By cleaning up the beaches, and letting them thrive.

We can reduce our plastic use,

And make sure our waste is disposed of in a safe place.

By protecting their nesting grounds,

We can ensure that their young are found.

And with every small act of care,

We can make the world a safer place to share.

For every turtle we save,

Is a chance for a brighter day.

A symbol of hope and resilience,

In a world that needs our assistance.

So let us stand up and take action,

To protect these creatures, with compassion.

For in saving the turtles, we save ourselves too,

And create a world that's better for me and you.
