Sure and Steady

Look at the turtle
You might think it’s slow
But it always knows
Where it’s heading towards
It never falters in its path
A slow pace is perfect
To keep the turtle going
Until it finally reaches
The end of its journey
Perhaps we could all be
More like the turtle
Who seems slow but knows
The way to go
I definitely don’t know
The right path to take
For me
And so I envy the sure turtle
And wish to ask it for the answers
For some parting words of wisdom
Or just an inspiring word
But the turtle never speaks
So I have to watch its movements
Instead
Copy its slow but steady habits
And hope that by
Imitation I can achieve
That same sense of surety
