Sloth
In the depths of the jungle, hangs a creature so slow –
A sloth, so lazy and content, with nowhere to go.
Its fur, a shade of brown, blending with the trees,
Easily overlooked, but oh, it's such a peaceful ease.
With every movement, it takes its time,
No need to rush, no need to climb.
It simply hangs and sways, in its own rhythm and pace,
A reminder to us all, to slow down and embrace.
Its claws are sharp, but oh-so gentle,
Never inflicting pain, never being too forceful.
It eats and sleeps, and that's all it needs,
No worries, no stress, in this life it leads.
A sloth, so simple, yet so wise
Teaching us to live, without any lies.
For in its slow demeanour, there lies a message so true,
Sometimes, it's best to just take a breath and enjoy the view.
