Lesson From a Frog

Man prides himself with intelligence Human Logic rationalizing, But what he really lacks is Patience When the moment requires some waiting. Today a frog in blithe expertise, Had some short lessons laid in action. He showed that trying should never cease, For Success comes with Repetition. He jumped on a green stalk, missing twice. Then returned to make good his attempt. Jumped once more, no defeat in his eyes - He missed, but held the edge of the hemp. He climbed one leg up, still holding on, His frog face tinged the trace of a smile, His other arm grasped at victory won - Sat on top of the leaf in a while!
