Who will care
For the chipmunks and birds,
Or talk back to crows,
Make sure the tree’s watered?
Oh, I know
I have my faults,
I conflict
With everyone…
But the poor creatures
Of the earth
Have no one,
And if not for me
Who would feed them?
I care for trees
And animals
And all their tiny spawn
But will you care for me
After I’m gone?
