To the Lighting Bug Shines My Love- -

to the Lighting bug- -SHINES MY LOVE



My lighting bug, you ignite me to sight;
The way you're blinking bright and soar;
Parading my mind day in through the night;
Always dreaming about the quiet lours;

Let me compare you to a pleasant fly?
You are more active, aghast and playful;
Fast drought dries the cool nights of July;
And moon pitch has the broadcast prayful;

Blinking your shiny torso ever glows;
Brightly flashing white and yellow grows;


Now I must sway with a steadfast heart,
Remember my last words whilst we're apart.

Caren Krutsinger Date: 3/24/2019 10:40:00 AM We used to sing a song called "the ghost is out tonight" and chase lightning bugs, popping the ones we caught into jars, using them for lanterns. So much fun to remember this. Thank you! Login to Reply
