The Lone Glider

Leaping through the forest 

Gliding from tree to tree 

There goes a lone sugar glider 

Showing off to you and me 

Gliding gracefully like a falling feather

The sugar glider forages for food

He’s powerful no matter the weather 

Then BOOM, CRASH, he meets his doom 

Mechanical monsters roam the land 

Obstructive, destroying all in sight 

Homes, families they’ll all be ruins 

They are a rival you cannot fight 

He sprints, he escapes to safety 

Away from his beloved home 

Will the morning ever come?

He really does not know

 Feeble, weak, will he survive?

 But then he sees someone block out the light

 In their gentleness, their kindness is shown

And they bring the sugar glider into a new home
