"On Becoming a Squirrel for a Day"

Just for today
Silly some say
To dance and play
All the livelong day

Becoming small
Climbing a tree
Waiting your call
Just you and me

I am your guest
Dancing in trees
Leaving the stress
Behind for the bees

Following no path
Jumping for joy
Skipping the bath
Birds do employ

Sitting in trees
Munching a morsel
Back on our knees
Up on our torso

Our call is clear
To summon a mate
Finding their ears
We make a date

Woods for a haven
Lucky we are
Even the raven
Envies from afar

Up in the treetops
Dancing our gig
Having no stops
Living our dig

Wanting for naught
Happy to be
Never getting caught
Is the key

Playing with all
Because we can
Having a ball
Lifes rich plan

Don't get in trouble
Twists and turns we need
Don't burst our bubble
A warning to heed

I like to be you
Happy all day
Finding the clue
Times meant to play

We are so glad
Content you see
Squirrels can't be sad
Playing up in a tree

Today I will smile
As I go to join you
Just for awhile
A fun thing to do

As Gods creations
Hard as He tries
To stop his elation
Tears come to his eyes

Change not one iota
Keep pouring out fun
Life has no quota
Here in the sun

Leaving you sadly
Figuring a way
Coming back gladly
A squirrels day to play
