Ever-present Creator with the
Never-ending creation all around
Astounding craftsmanship
Even down to the very last detail
Renewing every single day
Always brings cheer to the soul
Even in the hard dark times
Something leading to a smile is not far
Every life is a gift from above
Continually new wonders
Excitement just around the corner
Countless species are amazing
Mind blowing diversity
Exquisite beauty
Renewing every single day
Always brings cheer to the soul
Even in the hard dark times
Something leading to a smile is not far
Joy overflows
When You surround
Me with such beauty

The ravenous microbats enjoy hoovering up millions of biting insects
They love devouring the ones who want to infect and kill most of humanity
Microbats are nature’s insecticides saving most farmers billions of dollars
Bats are vital
Bats are vital for our survival
Mosquitoes the murdering menace of trying to get rid of all of us
They are like morsels for the hungry microbats
Micros can eat up to a thousand mosquitoes in an hour per bat
Bats are vital
Bats are vital for our survival
Fruit bats are also known as flying foxes they eat pollen & nectar not just fruit
They are the best long distance pollinators & seed dispersers within their range
We need to give the big thank you for the forests they have so kindly provided for us
Bats are vital
Bats are vital for our survival
Bat generated forest do not only benefit the hundreds of bat species
They give needed homes and food to the many of the other animals so they can survive
Forests are great places for recreation and also give us oxygen so we can breath
Bats are vital
Bats are vital for our survival

Better Than Crutches

You came into my life when I was hurt,
It is taking me quite a while to heal.
You provide me with a place to heal my wounds,
Without the usual condemning human impatience.
You have given me a better quality of life,
Lifting me out of the much of my life.
You keep encouraging me to be the best I can be,
I really am striving to show you my best.
You make a lot of sacrifices to keep me happy,
I really do appreciate everything you do for me.
You steady me and embrace all of me, even my scares.
Real crutches were never as supportive as you.
Thanks for protecting me
Thanks for giving me room to breath
Thanks for being you
Because you are better than crutches

Fit In

Can’t stand being alone
When heaps of humans are around
They never understand and I can’t explain it either
They try to comprehend but the way I see the world is just too different
Don’t fit in, can’t fit in
Very painful trying
Failure always results
Trying to explain anything at all
To someone who doesn’t speak your own language
You need common points of reference what if there is none, none at all
Then trying to explain something you don’t even understand yourself
Stop asking me how I feel, I have no idea at all
I don’t even like trying to work it out
My only frame of reference is the pain I’ve felt in the past
I don’t fully understand body language either,
My body language is about as accurate as a broken clock

Communication

I need your company, you bring me piece of mind
When I’m stressed you’re like a safety blanket
I’m aware I have difficulties coping
Having you around prevents another melt down
Communication we both need to work on it
We need to let each other know what we are thinking
Feelings as well as long as they can be identified
We see the world from completely different points of view
I try to explain my world to you but you don’t seem to understand
I don’t fully understand myself so I can’t explain it to you
Even if I do understand I’m unable to pass it along to you
I’d love to know what goes through your head as well
I’ve been told, and experienced, that like myself your very private
Hopefully with time our communication will become more natural
Looking forward to being able to share our minds as well as our lives
