Excerpt: To Those Who See

Each swan will always be a swan, beautiful and full of grace
Each blue jay will always remain a jay
No frog would ever try to induce a turtle to live his way
And perhaps that is the secret to peaceful co-existence
--Gwen Frostie

This is from a chapbook published in 1965, which, for what it's worth, is the year I was born. It is on display at the retirement community where I work.

If you kiss a frog, does it become a prince?
