Its not that we're frightened by you
It's just some things take a hold
Like the biggest hug
Or the tightest glove
And just to move your fingers
You have to fall in love
A turtle hides in it's shell
Because it keeps her well
She fits comfortably
She sucks in her feet
And she pulls in her arms
And then her head and her tail
Come in to keep away from harm
Holding herself until she's safe
I'm not used to being held
Even though I have a shell
Held is like a blanket
With arms sewn inside of it
I stick out my feet
And I pull out my arms
And then my head and my tail come out
To snuggle in the warmth
Holding
