amongst the trees and the plants and the sun and the breeze,
'round the flowers and bugs and birds and bees,
a little cricket chirped to me and said,
“this is the day that i most dread.”
i looked at him softly and and reached out a hand,
his small, quivering legs jumped out of the sand,
he sat in my palm and looked at me,
as i told him, “it'll be fine, you'll see.”
he was a troublesome guy, all wrapped up in drama,
from his enemies, to his fears, to his runaway mama.
he moped through his life and his pain and his strife,
while i did my best to cheer him and share the goodness of the world that was rife.
i told him of the sun and the moon he could watch everyday,
and the glories of mother nature that would never go away,
and i reminded him of love, and friendship, and joy,
and how he could have all of this if he weren't so coy.
he shivered and shook as he was a tiny fellow,
and picked up himself and proclaimed quite mellow,
“you're right, i don't need to complain,
i merely need to enjoy things and not cause so much strain.”
he hopped from my hand and gave me a smile,
and nodded his head as he walked off in style.
it's been a few days and i haven't seen him,
but i know, just know, that he's been happy since.
