If color is important

For survival of bloodline

Then why does Nature provide

Colors that vary by design

Colors, gray and black and white

Can be found in a wolf pack

Foxes range in color tones

From red, white, gray and black

Even wild prey animals

Have coats that tickle sight

Whitetail deer coats may combine

Shades of black, brown, red and white

Jaguar coats can range in tone

From yellow, red-brown and black

So many species vary

Variation Nature's knack

Just look at Nature's classes

Such as Insecta and Aves

Rainbow colors glow so bright

They sparkle with color waves

When humans look at color

Inside their species bloodline

Must see variation

As part of Nature's design

To help our species endure

Variation is the plan

That Nature puts in place

Survival for human clan

Author's note: Insecta is the scientific class name for insects. Aves is the scientific class name for birds.
