Life of a Snail

Crunch! He nibbled on a small ball of icy moss,
Now his miniature family join him and feast.
There’s danger approaching...
It’s a race against time to fold into their shell.
Bang! Crack! Aarrrhhhh...
They attempted to rebuild their mini home,
But too much damage had been inflicted.
Without a home except the shell,
Then they set off to find a safe place,
For then frightening aliens had stolen their space.
With a new horizon in the distance,
Greener moss in every glance,
Finally the whole family can graze together on this secret land,
All the family gathered around,
To share their gratitude and joy with each other.
Lush new spot to build a house,
A whole community filled with hope,
Hope for no more predators in their life,
Hope for peace and harmony between the creatures of the forest,
The life of a snail, so beautiful and daunting.
