I just started reading your poems with two on suicide, and it strikes me this poem displays an attitude to life which is the polar opposite of a suicidal impulse. First, you find wonder in that given of our existence - NATURE - and that takes you outside of the narrow horizons of self-absorption. Second, you are singing the praises of other living things - existence is not a burden you have to carry, but a gift you carry to distribute to one and all.
Which is exactly what this poem achieves!
