Lightning Bug Messengers
I have not seen a lightning bug since I was a child
maybe they do not live in Kansas?
I grew up in Iowa
July nights there were full of glittering flashing lightning bugs
I wish I could see one again, I lament
the next night, I see two of them, in Kansas!
I am astounded.
Thanks Mom, I say.
Figuring she sent them as a hello from heaven.
