Tiny Frog

I started as a tadpole, a tiny tiny dot

Living in a small pond, mother thought me odd.

Smaller than my siblings, we are nursery frogs!

But as I got older, I still stayed small.        

Making me a tiny frog!

Hearing land call

I stepped out of my pond, into my rainforest home.

Chose a tree

close to the water

the perfect one for me.

And feeling the connection between animal and tree

Hopping onto mossy bark and climbing high and tall

For a friendship to embark

And friendship is magic, even with a tree

But climate change is disordering me.

My rainforest home, my tree for a friend 

All are in strife! Will this ever end?

Six of my froggy cousins have now become extinct

but I think that there is hope… 

Because of you.
