Sea turtle mothers swim far distances
In the big wide Gulf of Mexico
To reach our shores for one thing only
They find the spot they remember
While picking a certain spot on the sand
It has to be away from other creatures
They don’t know who they can trust
They survived here years ago
So they hope that their young will too
They dig within the sand for the hole
That will keep her eggs warm
She leaves them covered as she goes
With no idea if they will survive
It’s only up to us to protect them
