My own species is making me feel like an alien.

I may have to pull in, tune out and hide in my shell.

 

My nature friends may be pesky eating my flowers and trash,

but I can forgive them. They are just trying to survive.

Who am I to hoard yummy trash and delicious flowers and all this space?

Humans will not get my forgiveness for their hateful behavior.

So I will be sharing all my nonhuman friends today.

They make me smile.

They make me laugh.

They keep me company.

They warm my heart.

I am thankful for them.

I will protect them.

Because I love them.
