Little Squirrel

Little squirrel

Collecting acorns

For her family

It is the world

After mission, she curls

Up into a ball

She both wants it all

And she wants to crawl

Into her burrow

But she mustn't for long

There’s another mission

To chirp her song

She collects at the speed of light

clever at flipping plight

Her colony needs her so

And love she wants to show

But

She’s inside out

and upside down

sometimes,

up on the oak braches high

Not safe and sound

though she’ll get back down

to earth, somehow

but she can’t allow

The love too close

batting lady squirrel eyes

chirping her worldly wishes

secretly a little skittish…

She doesn’t ever mean to boast

though her enemies may think

on the branches, on the brink..

the next tree is the link

Little squirrel breathe

little squirrel receive

The destined flow

you’re safe; just go.
