A worried little rabbit hopped along,
Feeling weary and weak, nothing seemed to be going strong.
He saw a tranquil pond in the distance,
And hoped it would calm his every instance.

But as he drew near, he became wary,
Of the seething waters, turbulent and scary.
He stood there tense, not sure what to do,
When a chipper frog appeared, shouting, "Hey you!"

"Don't be scared, little rabbit, come on in,
The water's fine, it'll make you grin!"
Feeling upbeat, the rabbit hopped in with glee,
Feeling shy, but happy, he splashed with such glee.

The sun shone down on the two friends,
As they played and laughed, making amends.
The once worried rabbit now felt so bright,
Thanks to the frog and the sunny light.

And so, young kids, don't be scared or wary,
Just be brave and upbeat, don't be so weary.
Find your tranquil place, let your worries fly,
And your sunny spirit will always shine high.
