There is a rhythm in the wild
known to each nature’s child.
A time to hunt, a time to breed,
unique to each creature’s need.
A time to rest and to commune
in harmony with nature’s tunes.
And in this wild community
each creature feels a unity.
Each knows its purpose and its role
within the grandeur of the whole.
Whether feathers, hoofs or paws
they accede to nature’s laws.
I feel that message in my soul;
that we should not try to control
the wonder’s that we’re given free
and we should live in harmony
and find our place among the others.
In this world, they are our brothers.

I really love this one. its a terrific poem. I love the overall message from this write. it's true we should do just this, but in all reality we don't. which personally is sad. The rhyme is flawless and the flow is smooth.
good luck

Amen!! What right do we have to come in and take away habitat and try to rearrange nature to our convenience.
Co-existence no longer seems to be in the dictionary.
"Each knows its purpose and its role

This is my favorite bit...

Thank you Wolfie...

Great message! I found a mistake. third line, first stanza, you left out 'to' before 'breed'. I really like what you're saying here. There's really no point in trying to control nature when it is not meant to be controled. 'In this world they are our brothers'. And sisters, Mr.!!!! Great write!

(but thank you 
) and brothers, used in this sense, is not a designation of gender but kinship... Thanks for the read and comment (yeah, and even the correction 
)
