Daydreaming
while the water sings to me
the daisies bring simplicity
the grass so lush and in the hush
my frog friends forgive me
as over many years
I thought of little tadpoles
I had taken from muddy ponds
to save somewhere away from there.
Playing by the Yarrowee
I whistled to each bird and followed every bee.
Now habitats surround me
so every frog I see is happily living free.
I won the charity bid for this framed print
so tears of joy rolled down my cheeks,
as this delightful, bright green-grassy fresh,
children's book is here to rest.
The art comes the children's book called
"All The Ways To Be Smart".
