Christine Saputo Poet Rhyme

Fireflies In Glass Jars

Remember going to grandpa and grandma's house by the lake 
All the fond memories there we did make 
And I think the fondest by far 
Was catching fireflies in a jar 

We would chase their light in the tall grass 
Trying to catch them in our jars of glass 
Seeing who could capture the most 
The winner got rights to brag and boast 

We were awed by their illuminating light
To watch them gave us pure delight 
In our jars we gazed at the fireflies glow
Until mom said okay sweeties time to let them go

At grandpa and grandma's we spent many summer nights and days 
And one fond memory always sets my heart ablaze 
All those fireflies glowing like little stars 
And us chasing and catching them in glass jar 

           -C.A.Saputo xoxo
