Insects and Spiders

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Insects

A small brown moth flaps his tiny wings,
Rudely disturbing my concentration.
I know I can't let such a silly thing
Deprive God of such a creation.

A spider casts his clingy web across
My beautiful brand new pool light torch.
Will God consider it such a loss
If I yank that critter off my porch?

An ant crawls stealthily up my arm.
God has made that diminutive critter.
I don't have the right to bring him harm
Just 'cause he makes me all a twitter.

A mosquito buzzes near my face,
And I realize she deserves life, too.
I'd have been willing to share my space,
But then she bit me. Sorry. Adieu.
