The Princess and the frog


time and distance had taken its toll

old and weathered and somewhat forgotten

he hopped on tired legs

all too often shunted by his former mate

he wondered if there was more

he wondered if there was a reason

he was no longer driven

he no longer hoped

he no longer dreamed

he missed the passion

but knew not how to recover

his dreams

his desires

then he stumbled into a garden

it was a new garden

one he had never before seen

he wondered why he was here

he wondered if he was just lost

then hello was whispered

he looked around seeing no one

then another hello a bit louder

he looked up and staring down

staring down at him

was a beautiful flower

a sunflower

a sunflower with big beautiful eyes

she batted her eyes and smiled

he was amazed she had noticed

none noticed him these days

are you lost the sunflower asked

I think I may be he answered

well welcome to my garden

my name is the Princess Perly

what is your name

I am just an old frog was his reply

and it matters not my name

but I am glad to meet you Princess Perly

they talked for a long time

she finally had to leave

and he was sorry she had to go

but he returned to the garden the next day

and they met again and shared

shared thoughts and feelings

she was so kind and sweet

and beautiful beyond his dreams

slowly he fell in love with the princess

well he kind of suspected it was rather quicker

day after day

they would meet in the garden

he finally told her

that he was in love with her

she blushed but did not answer

time moved on

his desires returned

his dreams returned

the princess finally gave in to his heart

she told him she also loved him

his world would never be the same

she kissed him gently

and his life would never be the same

though time would change things

they stayed deeply in love

they stayed the best of friends

though he was still a frog

he knew he was someone again

he was loved by a Princess

and that made him smile...
