This Planet We Share

When I look out across the rolling hills I can only imagine how many of God's creatures Are roaming around busy doing what they do to survive This old world is an amazing and unbelievable place It supports about 1.4 million species Who call this wonderful place home So so many we'll never encounter in our lifetime And we should all be thankful of that Some don't have a very good outlook on life But they're only acting the only way they know how Next time you go to the zoo Appreciate all these friends we share the planet with They'd thank you too if they could © Jack Ellison 2014
