All the better for nature
The dawn chorus I do hear
It's silence I do fear
Squirrels eating in their tree
A sight to behold you see
Nature all around you and me
Brings much joyful glee
Good for the mind and the soul
Makes our life that more whole
Yet rarely we take time to look
Know not it fills each and every nook
If we took some time to stop and stare
Better still our lives might fare
For nature may bode better for it
When we take the time to admit
That we are no better a species
Instead we are nature's bullies
