You bear your heavy burden
Diving, eating, swimming and breeding
Exhausted after long hours on sandy beaches
You can not even live in peace in your habitat
You bear your heavy burden
Competing with odd animals on your playground
Competing with developers who take over your beaches
Competing with all kinds of predators
You bear your heavy burden
make the joy of all snorkelers and divers
Protected but also threatened by others
Your life is not really an easy one
Every living being looks for living an easy life, but that is not the norm. Does anyone ever really have it easy?
I live so far away from sea turtles, but yet their plight weighs heavy in my heart and mind.

Reblogged this on Unleashed and commented:
The habitat /breeding grounds for the majestic sea turtle in Riviera Maya is being challenged by development and tourists who are not always respectful. This is an image of a turtle watched on our trip to Akumal. Poem written by FrenchRootsinAmerica and worth the read.
