Little turtle rushing to meet the sea
Broke out of your shell, you’re now free
Little turtle on a long journey
Embrace the waves, follow your destiny
Little turtle searching for that place
Where time stands still and everyone stays
Little turtle, have you found a home?
For you are loved and never alone.
Little turtle, nurse your broken heart
For there’s no going back to the start
Little turtle, drowning in an ocean of pain
Let your tears wash away with the rain
Little turtle, aren’t you getting tired
Pretending you really never died inside?
Little turtle, stop reaching for the sun.
In her eyes, you belong in the ocean.
Little turtle lost at sea,
Rise above your misery.
Little turtle lost at sea,
Remember how it used to be.
Little turtle lost at sea,
You will be found… maybe.”
The first time I heared this poem my tears falling and there's no way to wipe it out . It way August 27,2012 whenI think when I first watched a movie in a Cinema alone "WAY BACK HOME" and this is the title of the movie. It was a story of a family with 3 kids ,1 boy and 2 girls there where in a beach having a vacation and a family bonding .The time they arrived this 2 little girls are walking on the sea until this 1 little girl got so curious about what they saw and then suddenly his older sister amazed what they are watching and without knowing her younger sister is lost. And after that day the little one was not found .
Days, weeks, months and years had past many had changed most especially n her mom .The elder sister always crying remembering that she was the one blaming for what happened. She was so pity on her self that she was not able to help her lost sister .Until she's in highschool she wrote this poem remembering her lost little sister and the title of this Poem is "LITTLE TURTLE".
Until one day at a Swimming Contest she was one of the contestant and without knowing in the other side is her own sister from another school. Her little sister go to the Comfort Room to calm herself and her mother also was there. This little sister was in a cubicle and singing a song "LANGIT LANGIT MONG ANGKIN" the hyme of that song was being remembered by her mom and calling her name and they were so shock when they first saw her daughter but her daughter didn't recognized her as her mom.
To be continued....
