Why does time,
Like a little bird,
Sit on a fencepost
Singing its little song?
Then taking wing
It flits
From branch to branch
As it makes its nest
High in the tree.
Like the little bird
As it makes its way
Through weather unkind
To greet springtime
With its melodious songs
Year after year,
Time shows
That things carry on
Despite the world’s condition.

It’s amazing that even tho man’s world grows and changes everyday, the wildlife around flourishes anyway. Life carries on despite change in the environment. It is very humbling to realize that mankind is really just another animal: supposedly smarter, but just as instinctual. We need food, shelter, and love, just as any other creature does. Mother Nature is not picky when it comes to survival of the fittest. The strong will survive. Humans? We are dumb to think we can outwit her. Let us be happy, healthy, and strong, but let us also respect all the life on Earth as we change our surroundings to suit our needs. Sustainable thinking is how we, the stewards of the Earth, can make sure future generations enjoy the planets bounty.
Lovely write and rendition!
