A story by the river

Written for Friday Writings #82 

Many a stories I had read 

And many have I loved 

There was this story the frog 

with a  princesses  kiss

turned to a magnificent prince 

And many such stories as these

led me to thinking far from a

reality someday later that hit me 

With passage of time 

And my choices changed 

I read of one 

Where my prince with a kiss 

turned to a frog 

Yes I should have 

known better 

That to err was common 

To rise was divine 

So I adored my princess 

Who cried, prayed and  said 

"By the river Piedra 

I sat down and wept" 

PS" By the river Piedra I sat down and wept" by Paulho Coelho is one among the many favorites of mine.
