Firefly's In June

The sweet smell of babyskin and Ivory soap
waft up from my nightie.Feel the warm red 
dirt of June underneath my tiny toes,who 
knows what the night holds.Watching the
sun go down with anticipation,as my mother
gives  little hands a jar with elation.

I will capture many a firefly,those 
wonderful little gems in the dark sky.
Honeysuckle smell all around,as the warm
June breeze makes a low sound.These
memories sustain me,the wonders of
a magical night  could be.

Childhood dreams of long ago,bring a
gentle smile to my lips,as i recall all
the gems i put in my jar.
