The Changing Tide

Once in the sea, so long ago,
Little fishes swam to and fro.
But some got brave and walked on land,
With sturdy legs and tiny hands. 

Some grew fur to keep out cold,
Others learned to be quite bold.
Through sun and rain, a quiet change,
Making life both new and strange.

From small beginnings, all in time,
Growing from the mud and slime.
A leaf, a beast, a bird on high,
All changing underneath the sky!
