The Little Fish That Could

Once there was a little fish,
Who wanted to be big, not small and squish.

She dreamed of swimming with the big fish crowd,
And seeing the world from way up high and proud.

But the little fish was just too small, She couldn't keep up, not at all.
She tried and tried, but it was tough and often found herself feeling rough.

One day, a wise old turtle swam by,
And saw the little fish give a sigh.
He asked her, "What's wrong, my dear?
Why are you looking so sad and drear?"The little fish said with a frown,
"I want to be big and swim around. But I'm just so small, it's hard to keep up,
And sometimes I feel like giving up."

The wise old turtle nodded his head,
And this is what he kindly said:
"Little fish, don't you know it's true,
That even big fish were once small like you?"
Just keep on swimming, day by day,
And soon you'll grow in every way.
Your dreams will come true, just wait and see,
And you'll swim with the big fish happily."

The little fish felt better and smiled,
She knew the wise old turtle was right all the while.
She kept on swimming, with all her might,
And grew up big, and oh so bright! Now the little fish is big and strong,
And swims with the big fish all day long.
She learned that if she kept on trying,
Her dreams would come true, and she'd keep on flying.
