Fills the heart with wonder
What power in his stance
His beauty God created
Such power in his glance

So many things in nature
That makes life turn around
Today this special creature
Upon the earth astounds

Preserve this life of beauty
So we may always see
The gift of every balance
In nature's harmony

Here within his confines
With blessings world will share
Habitat of peacefulness
Heart of love aware

I look into the wisdom
Of creatures of the earth
With each and every reason
I'm grateful for their worth

Walk in life with peacefulness
Let no one rule his place
Run and play in safety
Fill our eyes with grace.
