I'd Give You a Dozen Fireflies

I'd give you a dozen fireflies
To shine some light on your face -
Surpassing a lamp and compass
In finding your way home.

I'd give you some honeybees
So they might hum you a tune
For when silence intrudes -
Knowing their sound will overcome

But I don't have either of these
So instead I hope you always
Find a light amid the dark
And keep a tune in your heart.
