A visitor came to my patio today. I was surprised that he didn't Hop away when I knelt to take his Picture, nearly touching him. Was he lost? Was he curious? Was he scared? He sat absolutely still, stone like; But later I saw that the little toad Had inched closer to my door as Though the welcome mat was Meant for him. I resisted the urge to shoo him away. He made me smile, a perk I needed Today. A moment ago I peeked outside again and Noticed that my silent visitor had Disappeared as mysteriously as he Had arrived. I'm glad he took the time to stop by. I like to think that my warty friend was as Pleased to make my acquaintance as I was his. |
