A
turtle-hatchling was all alone,
Beneath the
sky, below the moon.
She had no
hope finding her way
Till there
came the sun’s ray.
Oh! so much scared
was she
‘Cause
nothing she could see.
In the cool
pale moonlight
Not a thing there was bright.
Her sorrow I
really felt,
My heart did easily melt.
I did a
thing that was right
To make her
safe that night.
I led her to
the home- the sea
And I knew
she’d be in glee.
As I sat
back watching her track
She expressed a ‘thanks’ turning back!

green turtle hatchlings I saw at Ras al Jinz.
