Tortugagranga
Radiating from your little body,
the size of my hand,
your flippers reach and push,
reach and push,
plowing the sunlit water.
Next month in April,
the island children will escort
you from this sanctuary
to the edge of the sea.
With all their hearts they love you.
and because they love you,
they nurture you and let you go,
waiting for your return.
Likewise with you and me, Son.

Of all activities in my abundant life, this activity, being a parent, is my most cherished one. While doing this cost me a lot of money, my investment of time was worth it. And I do credit his Dad too.
