Ripples

Splash!

He hops into the pond.

The silk water ripples.

The pink flowers laugh

At the tickle of the waves.

They are beautiful and pleasant,

Yes, this is true-- 

And so very sweet, but oh so still. 

The frog is what jumps.

He hops for happiness.

His little jump of pure joy,

It affects the whole pond.

Soon all is up and active,

Laughing and singing,

All because of one tiny frog

And his beautiful little bounce.
