CHASING FIREFLIES

CHASING FIREFLIES

Like the fireflies dancing in the summer night’s skies,

So to is the sparkle that glistens in your eyes.

I remember chasing them as a child,

Firefly after firefly each frolicking wild,

Chasing them down and bottling them up,

Oh how I wish I could do the same with you my love,

Capture you and place your panache in a jar,

So I can always have your glow near when you are afar,

You have that vigor and verve,

That I wish to preserve,

You are my brilliant firefly,

Always romping wildly in my minds eye,

I long to see that sparkle which glistens in your eyes,

Just like the fireflies dancing in the summer night’s skies.
