As I went for a walk
The air was cold,
but I was warm
wearing sweatpants,
but no shoes.

I stopped by the little saltwater stream by the road
and watched the fish swim.
Then I saw movement that was not a fish
It was a little turtle,
No bigger than a golf ball
Pale from the icy water.

He struggled to get out of the water,
But couldn't get over the slippery mud.
I pushed through the reeds and sharp grasses,
My feet sinking into inches of mud.

It was worth it.
I took the poor baby turtle out of the water
Held it untill it was warm,
And put it on the ground
I wished it luck
And went on my way

Even small acts of kindness are important. This is wonderful. I enjoyed your little act of kindness, and I'm sure the tiny turtle did too.
