Looking not leaping (poem)

Looking not leaping

But I am so very green said Freddy to his mum

I know my love but you must not be glum

You are supposed to be green and sometimes even grey

You must be proud of who you are and what you are today

But mummy dearest, I only had a tail yesterday

Yes my dear child but that just got in the way

But im looking at these legs and they just don’t seem to work

The other frogs laughed and one called me a berk

Oh take no notice my little froggie son

You have nothing to prove to anyone

In time youll appreciate your legs and be fond

And so grateful that you can leap around the pond

Oh but mother they wont seem to do

Exactly what I want them to

I gaze at them, im looking but not leaping

Then benefit of legs I am just not reaping

When will I grow and be all I can be?

My dear just be patient and naturally

You will fly into the air and be as free as a bird

Listen to your mother, I mean every single word
