The Spirited Squirrel Poem by TheBigThinkg Human

Jumping on the branches, walls and pipes
Early morning, even before the sunrise
Exuberance of life with no corners cut
Exhibits as you run, stop, sit and bite into that nut

I trace your path but loose track
My effort to find your home cracks
Wonder where you store your stuff
What do you do, when going gets tough?

Wife, kids, parents or in-laws
Friends, neighbors, relatives or the boss
Who gives you this morning pep..?
What gives you this rhythmic, sparkling step?

Is it the love of last night.
That came after a dog fight..?
Is it the tender kiss you placed
On your sleeping kids face?

Banking, Savings and Insurance
Shopping, Spending and Investment
Funds for kid's future education
Plans for life in post-retirement..

With none of these to worry about
No wonder, you run your energetic bout!
Blessed you are, to be born with a bushy tail
By Lord Ram as a Spirited Squirrel!
