Gorilla (Lowland) Reflection

Gorilla (Lowland)   (Listen while you read)   

Well, here we are just one big happy family. Well, here we are just one big happy family.

Well, here we are just one big happy family. Well, here we are just one big happy family.

Did I say happy? Hmmmmmm.

Well, here we are just one big family, with ups and downs; just like all the rest.

(Did you think that we were going to say something else? Did you think that we were going to be different? Or did you presuppose that we were just like you? Yeah; we are just like you. We have our ups and our downs just like everybody. We aren’t special in that respect. No, we get to experience all of the challenges that you face.

We have to face lack of love; yes, we suffer from lack of love sometimes too. We suffer illness. Oh yes, we have our tummy aches and our body pains; no, we don’t miss out there either. And then there’s those types; you know the types, the ones that cause trouble! Yeah, we have them too.

Then there’s food to find and water for drinking; well, not much water for drinking but sometimes we have to find water. Yeah; life isn’t all a piece of cake for us; just as it’s not a piece of cake for you too, at times.

But then, we do have our pleasant times too. Yeah; when everyone’s happy and content and we’re just relaxing; yeah, those times are great. You have those moments too, don’t you? Yeah; life’s got its ups and its downs but, we do okay you know!

Yeah; we do okay.)
