Just The Way I Am

I have never feared nature
To me, everything needs to be loved
From the most beautiful bird
To the lowliest insect
They are all my friends and I care for them
Even the snakes that can kill me with a bite
I will hold them and pet them
People say that I am foolish for tempting death
But I do not see it that way
I am always nice to them
Talking to them and showing them affection
They always treat me the same way
That is how my life should be
I would not want it any different
