Balance

A butterfly sips
the morning dew

An eagle soars
through azure blue

The caterpillar crawls
along trellis vines

Unaware the robin
is not far behind

Among boughs of pine
the chipmunks prance

Hoping the hawk
won't join the dance

A young fawn sleeps
in meadow flowers

While the cougar sneaks
hoping to devour

The human race
consumes the land

Will Mother Earth fall
to their demands

All earth's creatures
must play their part

Or our poor world
will fall apart

The circle of life is
about give and take

Let's learn a lesson
before it's too late
