There was a little ladybug in my house tonight
that means pleasing luck and prosperity hindsight
as her son Jesus riding a pack animal burro
Mary Ladybird our Lady spots joy and with sorrow
from her cloak in primal paintings of lineage rare
I wonder if the black spots were the color of her hair
the name means scarlet hence the color known red
I'm glad it was spotted before it crawled in our bed
they both have enemies but camouflage greatly well
immaculate conception is differed though with smell
their ancestry or bloodline represents them as the 7
for up to two years they travel with guardians 11:11
If you view this number frequently in time do watch
it's mine in field of study and birth chart is topnotch
the Lady Bird 1 or 8 depending on various statistics
and the Lady Beetle insect in accordance characteristics
Ships of the deserts, ancient as life itself
Camels are our friends when water is scarce
A pack animal elite
Never bothered by heat
Aboard these guys tween their humps in pairs
the burden of love weighs us down
and throws our spine for a curve
can't breathe a breath, might even drown
or worse, maybe just loose our nerve
to run like a ram for a highland crag
with love's lush greenery far below
with only the wind to be whispered to
and a beautiful view of life's limbo
but, steady we can find sure footing
on the slopes of our dangerous actions
and careless comments without putting
ourselves on sides of opposing factions
silently like a reliable pack animal
we can tote and carry that heavy load
as steadfast burrow or dromedary camel
to bare love's weight down life's road
packed in the sack or borne in the bag
love's load presses the bones that carry
yet light as the breeze flies it's flag
a burden of love can be light and very
easy to withstand, warm as your hand
grasped gently on a cool winter's night
carried strong, a load longed for and
borne together knowing love's delight
