CRAWDADS & FROGS

TELL US THE RIVER IS CLEAN

God's "lesser creatures" can tell us

so much about the health of our planet . . .

like when a river is clean and healthy,

you'll see crawdads in the shallow clear water,

and hear bullfrogs at night.

It's when we DON'T see the smallest creatures swimming

or hear the frogs serenading us at night,

we know we've got trouble,

and the river's not healthy.

But this year I'm happy to report

the crawdads are swimmin'

and the frogs are talkin'.

And the Meramec River in Missouri

is running clear, clean and true.

Safe enough for baby to play (and learn.)
