Franklin was stunned by
the mean things they said.
He cried to his mom,
can I just stay in bed?
Son, sometimes you must suffer
and go through the pain,
In order to triumph
and conquer the gain.
A glow that started deep down in his soul,
Overwhelmed him with love, Franklin finally felt whole.
Franklin looked around at all the happy bugs,
They were cheering and dancing and banging their mugs.
Franklin needed no glow, he was whole from the start,
A glow in his mind put a glow in his heart.
