Fireflies

It’s an interesting thing that little children do, Catching fireflies in a jar not thinking it through. They cover the jar and tighten the jar lid, Placing it in the bookcase from mother it’s hid. Tucked in their beds in a very dark room, The tiny lights dancing as if to a tune. Then slowly one by one the lights go out, It wasn’t a good idea, of this I don’t doubt. Author Eileen Clark 2022
