I love the animals!

They are my friends,
cows, piglets and also hens
bunnies, puppies and kittens too
and horses just to name a few!
I shower all my friends with love
I give them kisses and lots of hugs!
They show me affection in different ways,
They bring me sunshine on gloomy days!
I cause no harm to those I love
from fish below to birds above!
I show them kindness and compassion
they are my friends, not food and fashion
Some of my friends have colorful feathers
some have fur for frigid weather,
some wear scales and slither around
some of my friends live underground
some have spots and some have stripes
some of my friends come out at night,
all the animals are the same
they just go by different names
they all want to live life happy and free
no different from you, no different from me!
They all are deserving of respect
that’s why I treat my friends the best!
So please show them love the way that I do,
because my friends are your friends too!
