God's Wild Creatures
A coon and a frog,
and a possum on a log.
A duck and a goose,
A bobcat on the loose.
A deer and an owl
and a fox on the prowl,
A quail and a dove
A turkey gobbler in love
A squirrel and a hare,
and a hawk in the air.
A wasp and a bee,
A hornet nest in a tree.
God's wild creatures everywhere,
A tiny little mouse and a great big bear.
He made some big He made some small;
But He made the little bluebird prettiest of them all.
