Fertilize the flowers, watch them grow and thrive,
With the help of pollen, they'll come to life.
The world is full of creatures big and small,
All of us dependent on one another, we stand tall.

Mucus helps the slugs and snails to glide,
While parasites use others as a place to hide.
Some creatures are vulnerable, in need of a refuge,
But together, as a species, we can offer solace.

Interdependent, we all play our part,
In this beautiful world, where love and life start.
So let's take care of each other, near and far,
And watch our world flourish, like a shining star.
