Ladybug

She told me of a ladybug 
That crawled across a leaf 
And of the thing that she had found 
Hidden underneath 

Something she had covered up 
So her sister would not see 
To protect her heart? That, I don't know 
From a harsh reality? 

A creature that was on the ground 
A frog, that's what she said 
A creature there, amongst the leaves 
A frog lying there dead 

Does her sister like frogs? 
She explained not this to me 
Something she had covered up 
So her sister would not see
