When slowed upon the road we may blear less.
Today I saw a motorhome fear-less..
It sailed right past, but as it did I saw
the kind of thing that makes you smile and more ..
Upon its back a word was printed clear
(a word that made me think, and give a cheer),
in letters black the writing could be read -
the word outlined was “Turtle” - all it said.
I missed a picture of it, with its speed,
but now I understand the crying need
for never stopping learning as we go,
no matter how big/ small, or smart, or slow,
For even when we've seen a thing quite true
and rightly claim it in our lives anew,
there's still a lot of learning left to do.
This must apply to me as well as you.
And if I see it farther on sometime
I'm apt to want to take a photo then.
And that'll make me think of more that I'm
still learning, that i'll have to learn again,
in deeper and more thorough ways, I bet.
I’ll say “Well, bring it on, i'm not there yet!”
For now, I have to laugh and lift my head,
“I'm growing to maturity instead!”
And further on from that the “Turtle” spoke
to me of what a “Tortoise” once awoke
within a little boy who heard that tale
of Hare and Tortoise - stories can avail…
