How do I love thee?
Supporters, how do I love thee? Oh, let me count the ways!
I love your Urban Tracking Team, that finds me every day.
I love you for your green-roped bridges that connect the canopy,
I love you for your camera traps that take pictures of me!
I love to wander safely about my jungle lands,
So thank you for the education that shapes the future’s hands.
I love it when the tourists will stop and respect my space,
And I love you for the signs you make to put them in their place.
Supporters, how do I love thee? Oh, let me count the ways!
I love your social media and the awareness that you raise!
I love your Slothopedia, that replaces myth with truth,
And I love it when you rescue me from the pet trade and abuse.
I do NOT love your angry dogs, that bark and bite and rend,
But I love it when you teach them better ways to be my friend.
I love it when your gardens grow some food for me to eat,
And I love it when you plant some trees so that the branches meet.
Supporters, how do I love thee? Oh, let me count the ways!
I love your eco-tourism, your hotels, and your cafes.
I love it when the powerlines are safe for me to cross,
And when you show illegal loggers who really is the boss.
I love to be adopted (not literally, of course)
And to know my little grandsloths can count on your support.
Most of all I love your kindness and the way you do your part
To share with me this great green world that I love with all my heart.
