Creeping, crawling, soaring around.

Bugs in the air and bugs on the ground.

With lots of legs or only a few,

each bug has a job to do.

Velvety butterflies stained like glass

Spread pollen that makes flowers, as they flutter past.

Bees buzzing busily make honey tasty sweet.

Toiling so our food will thrive, that’s yummy to eat.

Ants work hard to cleanse the soil. They’re tiny yet strong.

Whatever’s not required, they see that it’s gone.

Bugs are our friends. God knows our every need.

He placed them here upon earth to care for you and me.
