Parklings

Creatures small and creatures tall
                Beings all, to grace the scene
Greet me on my morning walk
                They serenade my stroll

In the park there sings a lark
              Puppies bark on grasses green
Squirrels with little fluffy tails
                 Tease the morning sun

By the lake for Heaven’s sake
        Ducklings make their way to preen
Swans in regal stature rule
             And the world seems still

If we all, we creatures tall
             Beings all, could just take note
Parklings. could we rather be
          Sustained by nature’s love
