Far Beyond

Far beyond the city lives a tiny turtle baby,
Hoping to make it, maybe just maybe.
Far beyond the shores is the ocean wide and blue,
and in among the waters is a silent starfish too.
Far beyond the sea is the horizon and the sun,
melting below the line, now darkness has begun.
Far beyond and up the horizon lives the moon and all its shine,
But the hours quickly pass and now it’s almost morning time.
Far beyond the moon lives the sun and all its hot,
Feeding us the heat and warmth and giving us a lot.
Far beyond the sun lives the earth our home planet.
Full of different things new and natural like houses and plants and granite.
Far beyond the atmosphere lives your very happy place,
Full of photographs and pictures of a very happy face.
