Think about those worms, that wiggle through the land,
they loosen up the soil, so the roots of plants, can expand,
Those plants give off oxygen, to support life on this earth each day,
some provide the food we eat, and give shelter, to animals that prey.
As those critters grow, and live their lives, in many different ways,
some of them will be hunted by others, and eaten as a meal someday.
Every living thing on earth, works with or for each other, in a special way,
all of the plants, and creatures, need one another, to stay alive,
to see the next day.

We all see these but we hardly notice. Your poem may provoke some thoughts in some of us. The title of the poem is appropriate, and the last stanza, is aptly the substance of the poem. A good one.
