The Life of a Squirrel

The Life of a Squirrel

 

Squirrels have it easy living high in the trees

They never had to learn math, science, or the ABC’s

A squirrels only mission is to play and have fun

And maybe eat nuts and bask in the sun

 

Squirrels don’t wallow, weep, or morn

Nor do they ask: “Why was I born?”

The squirrels I know they don’t cry or pout

They don't get sad or have self doubt

 

A squirrel spends time to dance and sing

They celebrate life and have picnics in spring

Squirrels are happy to visit new places

And they’re always excited for new squirrel faces

 

Perhaps if we learn from our squirrel friends

Then maybe we’ll see life through a different lens

Being happy, being grateful, and not being sad

Really does make life seem like it's not half bad
