My Little Visitor

This little frog found a resting place in the money-maker plant outside my house.  I looked closely at my little visitor and was amazed with what I saw.  The little frog's eyes were closed and it was sleeping peacefully.  Not an inch of discomfort despite of the narrow leaves where it was resting.  My visitor was sleeping very still, devoid of fear that any time during the night a prey will come and end its life.  There was not a trace of worry  in my little visitor's face.  No bad dreams and nightmares.  No insomnia.  No midnight sweat.  

I realized big time that I was envious with my little visitor.  I wanted that kind of sleep and to have a complete rest during the night.  I wanted a peaceful sleep without thinking of what I have missed out during the day and without running through my mind the to do list for the following day.  I wanted to have that sense of comfort that no one can harm me while I sleep because someone will keep watch over me.

When I woke up the following day, I quickly went out to say good morning to my little visitor.  To my dismay, my little visitor already went out and started its day ahead of me.
