The sun is slowly rising over the hill lighting the ground <br />so quiet and still, setting the flowers ablaze in color. <br />Mr. Toad pokes his head out of his hole as he fixes his gaze upon a single flower. <br />“That will look right smart in me vest” said he to no in particular. <br /> <br />“Spring has come at last to my little pond” <br />“I can smell the flowers and see the warm days of summer beyond” <br />On goes his coat and his hat, oh don’t forget your galoshes, <br />as you head down the road, and across the marshes. <br /> <br />“This is a fine day for a stroll” Thought Mr. Toad. <br />A fine and friendly creature was he, with wide set eyes, a large mouth <br />And kind features. He waved hello and good morning to all <br />He passed along his way. <br /> <br />Down past the hill to see Mr. Rabbit just stepping from his house, <br />He is No doubt thinking of the land that he will soon till. <br />“Good Morning friend Rabbit” He said with good will. <br />Then he met Mrs. Mouse looking very lovely in her flowery spring blouse. <br /> <br />A sweet sound fills the air drifting on the warm spring breeze. <br />It is the song of Mrs. Robin sitting safe and warm <br />in her nest high in the trees. The morning sun <br />gives a fiery glow to her deep red breast. <br /> <br />“ahh springtime” thought Mr. Toad <br />sniffing the flowers. And enjoying the friendly people he met <br />as he hopped happily down the road. <br /> <br />Life is meant to be enjoyed in the company of friends <br />and friendly folk. So as you journey down the road <br />Be like Mr. Toad and be kind and friendly <br />and kindness and friendship you to shall invoke. <br /> <br /> <br />© JPM 12/9/2008 – 12/10/08 <br /> <br />This is something a little different for me more of a Fairy Tale/ Nursery Rhyme then a poem.
