In the Grass

I was just a little lass running barefoot in the grass tiny feet were romping past birds and bees along the path. Peering through the grass I found bugs and snails on the ground ladybugs were all around flit and flying without a sound. Then I happened on a pond dipped my toes into the bog tadpoles swam under a log lying low and waterlogged. Crickets chirped and lilies laughed green frogs leapt along the path trails of flowers and sassafras running barefoot in the grass. 3/25/2023
