Hair and Nails

have you ever seen
a bird uncombed
or a kittens hair disshovled
is a lions mane unmanagable
or a rodents fur in stubbles
the wolves teeth
are always straight 
never a miss aligne
and animals feet we always find
fur and claws well defined
the peacock and the parrots feathers
may never be refined

no dog or fish will ever lack
beauty for hair or fins misplaced
tusk and horns ballence an image
to an animals face
love and grace are given
because of place
and yet we know not
of their existance 
as an animal race

can an animal care for theirs 
like we care for ours
can an animal ask for care
without it's animal powers
was there a command 
given of God
to do amazing things
to nurture to feed 
protect and lead
without there being an exstream

yes this love 
can be written 
in the human heart
just as the bible says
how wonderful this love will be
when this love starts

Something must have gone wrong somewhere in my life because most times i go around with uncombed hair (lol). This is good writing, my friend. Can't wait for the sequel. Licia :-)
