Natures House Guest

We noticed one day we had a guest It seemed to be looking for a nest. From the window, up across the wall, And up to the ceiling, oh so tall. It was fat, and had eight fuzzy legs. So cute, could it be a her with eggs? Then she started to look very thin. She needed to be out, not be in. Nature wants us all to have a place, A place to call home, have our own space. ‘Twas our hope when we put her outside In a big fern so that she could hide. To spin her web so that thru the night She’d catch a meal under the porch light. We had our house guest for just a while, And Nature gave us a little smile.

This was beautiful Betty and such a wonderful poetic story to read. When most will just dispose of them, I will always place a spider I see in my house safely outside. I loved this one
