Little round balls the size of marbles, what do you hold inside?
I hold a gem, a little round ball as black as obsidian.
After a while I burst and I am a tadpole!
Soon I will lose my tail and grow legs and I will be a frog and have eggs of my own!

Is Spring a thing you can see? I saw a Wood frog hop away from me.
Is Spring a thing you can hear? I heard the Robin singing with cheer.
Is Spring a thing you can feel? I touched a slimy slug and it made me squeal!
Spring is near, Spring is here! I'm glad it comes back every year.
