There was a frog named Jayden

Who loved to play all day

He’d hop and swim and croak

With nothing in his way.

One day when he wasn’t looking

He took a frightful leap

And right into a wishing well

He fell into a heap

He croaked and cried and trembled

And hollered for his Mom

He waited for a long time

He waited for her to come

When finally she heard

His tearful sad little cries

She looked down into the well

Into his big green sad little eyes

“Don’t worry little Jayden

Your Mommy is right here

Listen to what I have to say

And be a brave, brave little dear”

“Gather up all your strength my son

And give a big strong leap

Then you will come into my arms

In a grateful, blessed heap”

Trying to be brave

And wiping away his tears

Little Jayden gathered all his strength

And forgot about his fears

Out of the well, he did jump

With all the strength he had

He hopped right into his mother’s arms

He was truly a brave little lad

His Mom hugged and squeezed and kissed him

And held him with all her might

“I’m so glad you’re safe and unhurt”, she said

“Because you gave me such a fright”

Now when little Jayden plays

He’s careful where he goes

He watches everywhere he hops

Playing safely is what he now knows.
