SERENADE OF THE FROGS

Stop and listen to the midnight serenade.
Listen to the beautiful trilling melody.
People associate frogs with ugliness.
He is as ugly as a frog.
She has a frog in her throat.

They are considered
The epitome of ugliness,
But nothing is further from the truth.
Even frogs have beauty.

It is a beauty all their own,
The beauty of the natural world
To which they contribute.
How many take the time to listen
To their voices trilling in unison
Like a symphony of nature?

Their song is a soothing lullaby,
A gentle trill outside my bedroom window,
A calming lullaby sung by those
Whose beauty is overlooked.

They sing to the heart of the listener.
Come be at peace with the world and the night.
Let cares of the day drift away in slumber.
Tomorrow is another day to live and love
Life and the beauty of everything living.

Celebrate living under the sun
And in the evening they return
To sing to the heart of a listener
The serenade of the frogs.
