Intervention

Upon the falling leaf There exists a little ant Falling slowly to the earth Held within His hand Out, in a darkened jungle From a leopard, lemur got away Helped up to a higher branch To live at least another day Somewhere, in a desert A prairie dog and a snake The dog had escaped the danger No life, for serpent to take Think for just a moment As to how they got away There must be someone watching And helping them on their way. In life, there is a presence, Though at times, remains unseen Isn’t it nice when this presence Sometimes intervenes?
