The Hard Life of an Ant.
1. Earth turns slowly once
Speeds in space make seasons
change
Ant on big planet
2. Short days...less warm sun
Must prepare for snow to rain
Won't live to see it
3. We work for loved ones
Marching through danger and pain
Hard work for our kids
4. Work!!!! It's never done
For our fam. And queen to reign!
Losing will to live.
5. Made it to warm months!
Colony maintained domain
Even though I died.
Epilogue:
Ant life sometimes sucks
Live...work...die....but not in vain
In hearts....I survive
***Epilogue is like a p.s. note...a bonus....it is aNOT part of the 5 sections!***
