Turtle

From step by step

And, carrying her immense shell

I see you cheerful

Although, be separate from us

In the lake calmly eating

Algae whose substances I feel

That will really nourish you.

For thus, once again,

Your day patiently to enjoy

In that fauna and fabulous flora

Colorful that is a true splendor.

Turtle that thus manage

Freely here to exist

Among bush, stones and lakes

An existence that I think

To be completely calm, therefore wise!

Reason for the which doesn't complain of anything

Because, she has everything that she needs to live.
