WHAT YOU GIVE OUT YOU WILL GET BACK

WHAT YOU GIVE OUT YOU WILL GET BACK

In a legend long ago

A toad into a prince wished to go

He had aspirations high

And waited as many years had gone by

He ignored the pond life all around

Choosing to decorate his ego with a crown

And as time passed lonely he grew

For his friends dwindled to less than a few

They noticed them he chose to ignore

And one by one they walked out of the door

Yet to him they had been most loyal

But he had ambitions to be royal

Then one day a coach stopped by

And there a princess he did spy

He called and croaked look at me

Let me your prince handsome be

And with a haughty laugh she stated

You're nothing but an ugly toad she berated

And you want me to kiss the likes of you

Some pond life, crazy as ugly too

And after she sped away

He looked around him that day

There he was all alone

Lonely and deserted on a stone

There was no one to care nor watch his tears fall

For his friends he had lost them all

And the moral of this verse

Always be there to your friends converse

No one is greater than another

All are equal each a sister and brother

Never ignore your friends needs

For you never know when you'll need a good deed

Be there to praise them when they achieve

And be there to catch them when they fall

For if you love each other unconditionally

Love returned will be your destiny
