Tom Turtle ran a race
He’d never lost before
But in the name of love
Came from above
Joe Rabbit beat his score

Tom was glad
This time not sad
True love had won the day
And though he lost
A race it cost
He gladly had his say

This time Joe
You weren’t a foe
The message is loud and clear
Two lovers brought
From Heaven taught
To hold each other dear

And from that day
They’d laugh and play
A perfect atmosphere
For love to thrive
Each day alive
It wasn’t a show
And on they’d go
Forever aglow
With happiness every day
And joyously they did say

Thanks Tom Turtle
You lost the race
But through your grace
Love can erase
The sadness you must face

Tom Turtle replied
I am alive
I’d happily lose ten more
For love like yours
Means more than scores
So go on your merry way

And live your life
Free from strife
And here’s to you both
I raise a toast
To love and laugh each day

You have each other
I’ll soon recover
You’ve opened the door
There needs no more
You’ll now discover
Destiny brought you ashore
You’re both in love
From Heaven above
For now and forever more
