The Frog

I found the gift you gave to me,

a big-eyed frog that fiddled songs,

so silently testifying

we once were so much closer then. 

Was cleaning in the crawl space and

I found the gift you gave to me.

I took it from its little box

and listened to its soundless tune. 

Down in that hole, I thought I’d take

stuff to the second-hand shop, when

I found the gift you gave to me.

Wasn't sure why I clung to it. 

Though I don’t see you anymore,

I know you’re part of who I am.

Thinking about past memories,

I found the gift you gave to me.
