A forest lush and hidden, where sunlight danced on leaves,
Lived a wishful tortoise, full of wild beliefs.
With an emerald shell, like a jewel so bright,
He dreamed of grand adventures, from dawn till twilight.

He stumbled through meadows, thick with blossoms and dew,
Where flowers giggled secrets, and every breeze was new.
Streams gurgled and giggled, their waters sparkling clear,
Nature’s soothing lullaby, whispered close to his ear.

He clambered over rocks, and through brambles, he’d weave,
Chasing butterflies, as they flitted, light as eve.
The trees swayed and bowed, their branches waving high,
In the forest’s grand ballroom, beneath the endless sky.

He tumbled down hillsides, with a laugh and a cheer,
Finding joy in each tumble, in each roll, without fear.
The sun-kissed his shell, while the moon lit his trail,
In this clumsy adventure, he’d always prevail.

Through mossy groves and under towering pines,
He wandered in wonder, where the wild things intertwine.
The birds sang melodies, the frogs croaked in rhyme,
In this symphony of nature, he lost all sense of time.

Every step was a journey, each moment a delight,
In the heart of the wild, with stars shining bright.
The wishful tortoise, with a heart pure and free,
Embraced every mishap, in nature’s grand spree.

With pockets of clovers and petals for his bed,
He found joy in the forest, where wildflowers spread.
So, the wishful tortoise, with eyes full of gleam,
Lived an adventurous life, in a never-ending dream.

Through storms and sunshine, in laughter and song,
He found his true place, where he always belonged.
A wishful tortoise, in nature’s sweet embrace,
Clumsy, adventurous, happy—forever he’d race.
