Ancient and angelic

Gifted to Australia
More important to
The Manning River environment
Where ancient reptiles do
Live their precious lives
And curiously evolve
In a guiltless habitation
Where the passionate may solve
they are an endangered species
Little turtles they
The helmeted or snapping turtle
all hiding away
In the rapidly lowering depths
And have a general need
For help from would be warriors
Who want them to succeed

They need restoration
They need our help for they
Are up against the environment
And should be left to pay
They are an ancient family
With a lineage before
And the need is to protect them
And know that we are sure
Their protection is a first step
We need to show good grace
Respect and consideration
For their miraculous space
We really have a duty
An obligation to
Show them we are on their side
In Everything they do

ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL
we warriors love you all
