I spied an old toad by water’s edge
He remained still.
Blinked his eyes, never lifted his head
He remained still.
Offered him a tasty worm instead
He remained still.
“It must be such a comfy bed”
He remained still.
Watched him ’til the sun turned red.
He remained still.
Came back next day and thought he was dead
He remained still.
“What are you doing”, I said
Then he whispered ,”Being still.”

Lesson kids? Be still when you are toad. 🙂
I love this-
Mother Nature sure does make life the “bomb”!
Old Toad had a lot of patience, waiting for dinner and the next morning’s breakfast to wander by. Love this one.
Thank-you so much Helen.

I’m glad to make you laugh. It pleases me that you commented 😉
