The Turtle and the Rabbit

I wish that I could be the turtle;

Running in the race.

For though the bunny’s very fast;

I set a steady pace.

 

He starts off with leaps and hops;

When we first begin.

But he’ll soon rest, then I’ll pass by,

And in the end I’ll win!

I was inspired to write this simple, short poem by the story of the Turtle and the Hair.

 

Sister

For there is no friend like a sister,
In calm or stormy weather,
To cheer one on the tedious way,
To fetch one if one goes astray,
To lift one if one totters down,
To strengthen whilst one stands.

By Christina G. Rossetti
