Dragonfly

Hear my plea You used to give me A big fright. Now that I have turned eight I learned I have to be real still with my finger held up high Looking like the Statue of Liberty For you to come visit me From your trips around the sky. The child let out a sigh! Waiting, waiting is the key. The more she waited the Madder she got and then began to cry. As the child went to dry Her pretty brown eyes She felt you on her finger. She was so excited the child Shouted. "You didn't pass me by." Oops! She had startled thee. Finally she understood why You had to flee. She had given you a big fright, Up went her finger even higher with a determined will Just to see If another dragonfly Would visit from out of the sky.
