It was one of his series of tortoise poems. Taken together they show a great respect for and empathy with the tortoise.TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915822857461178942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-26299170592671855182010-08-10T10:40:17.704-07:002010-08-10T10:40:17.704-07:00I read this poem aloud at a ceremony my partner an...I read this poem aloud at a ceremony my partner and I had to honor a young tortoise we lost due to extreme heat in Arizona. We care for one other desert tortoise who is about 7 yrs old (we think). This poem means so much to me. I found it on a whim, as I was searching for just the right words, but will keep it close to my hear forever. I cannot read it without tearing up. Thanks for sharing.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12891659313173074952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-85906222431677656662010-03-08T06:21:34.070-08:002010-03-08T06:21:34.070-08:00Leigh,
