For Shae Adair Jackson
Turtle moves slow,
but steady on his way
Squirrel jumps high,
from tree to tree to play
They both have their own pace
They’re competing in a race
They’re just living day by day
Turtle and squirrel
living side by side
Taking different paths,
but both with pride
Turtle and squirrel
in their own world
Living life unfurled
Turtle carries his home
right on his back
Squirrel gathers nuts
for the winter's lack
They both have their own goals
and are striving to achieve
but also need time to breathe
Turtle and squirrel
living side by side
Taking different paths
but both with pride
Turtle and squirrel
in their own world
Living life unfurled
They may not be friends,
but they share the land
Their paths may cross,
but they understand
Different ways of life
but they coexist
Turtle and squirrel
in peaceful bliss
Turtle and squirrel,
living side by side
Taking different paths,
but both with pride
Turtle and squirrel,
in their own world
Living life unfurled
Turtle and squirrel
living in harmony
Taking different paths
but they’re both free
Turtle and squirrel,
in the great outdoors
Living life blissfully
forevermore
