Frogprince

I wonder - if I kiss you
will you turn into a prince
Have you been bewitched I ask
a cold frog ever since
You live here in this forest
down a well so deep
light never sees the bottom
where in the mud you sleep

Now my ball of sunshine
golden and so bright
has disappeared in darkness
down into your night
I can't leave this forest
without my ball as guide
but you hold it there to keep
treasuring its light

I know you hear my crying
I've wept here ever since
pleading, begging to the frog
to head the inner prince
