Best Lightning Bug Poems

The lightning bug shines at night,
they help our love ones to the light.
To find thier way to heaven above,
and guide the path with their light of love.
A soft warm glow all through the night,
it brings our hearts such delight.

to see a lightning bug

Lightning in a bottle 
That is my little firefly 
I gotcha right out of 
The summer night sky 

Gently captured now 
In an old glass canning jar

A little warmth in...
