A modern poem about a snail
in the corner of the city On that busy street I see a snail It crawled slowly It carries that heavy shell Wandering in the city Its pace is so slow But full of strength and tenacity It's looking for its home The little snail in its shell It needs a warm place Where it will feel safe Snail, your journey is long But you never flinched Your courage and perseverance Make people feel admiration and amazement You carry that heavy shell Wandering in the city You're a part of city life Bringing us hope and enlightenment Snail, you are the helmsman of fate You use your own actions Leading people to the light and future You are an animal full of wisdom and strength Your presence makes people feel warm and at ease Snail, although your journey is long But you'll keep going Until you find your home Until you return to your warm shell
