The Start and Finish

A mama turkey and her brood
Were pecking by the road,
Not far from where I passed a squashed
And bloody mid-leap toad.

It isn’t often that you see
The circle Nature’s made -
The start and finish points of life
So vividly displayed.

Yet hopefully we humans have
More time for in-between,
Though sometimes, like that toad,
We exit early from the scene.
