Little lad finds delight With fireflies bright He keeps them in a jar And they twinkle like a stars Each one that he finds Lights up his mind He'll watch them all night While his dreams take flight As he drifts off to sleep He has nature's wonders to keep

Congratulations on your win. I enjoyed reading this fun write. As a young child, I also had a jar for fireflies. They sure did twinkle like many stars in a jar. Have a great day with your win..................

Those were the days of wonder and enchantment. If only we could keep them in a bottle

A delightful memory Joseph, I remember when I was a kid seeing fireflys and glow worms and thinking they were fairys. Hugs Maria
