Jack Ellison Poet Narrative

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
