The group of turtles
Climbed up for a break
In a line together
They sat by the lake
Such a wonderful spot
They all call home
Such a great feeling
To know you belong
The family all together
Each secure in their love
Taking joy in the moment
Of the sun from above

I think you did a fine job with the picture prompt. I'm sorry to hear of the loss of a family member. Writing always helps me....even writing about turtles.
Thanks for the entry, and best wishes.

It is so good to see you writing something a little more... lighthearted... something ... more you, you know? I enjoyed this so much and I think that it was great. Very sweet... it seems random and silly but it's not in the least! Wonderful job love. Keep up the great work. Good luck.
