Notes About The Poem

Horny Toads

Horny Toads

Grandpa knew everything, 
that was needed to be known, 
always. 

I stayed every summer, 
from the time before I remember, 
until the time I pray,
never to forget. 

We worked in the garden.
We dug holes, and planted seeds. 
Everything was new to me. 

Miracles were in the garden. 
Tiny things that most miss. 
an ant, a spider, a snake, 
and if you are very, very lucky…
you will find, 
a toad…with horns.

Unicorns are in the bible. 
God had Noah build an ark. 
We are small "He" is tall, 
and wonders…
never cease,
when Grandpa…
goes to plant vegetables.
