Small gray squirrels
scampering across the land
chasing each other having fun
marching like a band
Not worrying about today
gathering nuts along the way
playing in the community
laughing through the day
Climbing to his nest
high in the trees
resting in the summer sun
God providing for all his needs
It’s beginning to rain
a storm is near
trust in God
there is no need to fear
The storm is over
the sky is clear
scampering down the tree
his friends reappear
Playing again
they begin to scurry
living life fully
without any worry

I love to watch squirrels play. They are too funny.
Thanks for sharing. Squirrels are so much fun to observe and photograph. I love to watch them in the park. Thanks for reading.
They do love to scamper. Good post.
Thank you. Yes, they do love to play. Thanks for reading.
Ever watched a squirrel try to figure out how to carry a whole large slice of pizza up a tree?
Hi. Thanks for sharing. No but that sounds like a fun thing to observe. I think that the squirrel deserves the pizza if he can get the slice up the tree. Thanks for reading.
Thank you Debbie! Adorable photo and love your creativity with this poem. Blessings, Debbie (great name ❤ )
Thank you for your kind words. I am always grateful that my parents chose the name Debbie. It is a form of a name in the Bible of a strong woman. I think that it makes our name special. Thanks for reading.
YES definitely – and wise – strong and wise woman. 🙂 Blessings back.
