The Firefly

As quiet as the falling snow As quick as a streaming ray of light As bright as the moon's ghostly glow The firefly does appear at night It blinks as if to say "hello" Putting on a dazzling show Dancing and prancing before our eyes Then disappearing beneath evening sky's If one appears, soon many more will follow In the blink of an eye they fill the hollow They seem unafraid as they move swiftly about And then without warning their lights fade out What miracles exist in this world of ours The firefly, the hummingbird and magnificent flowers Life is a garden there before us to behold One miracle after another just waiting to unfold
