Fireflies 
Flickering through the skies 
One after another 
A beautiful light in the darkness of night 
How long will they stay? 
Till the morning sun rises? 
A helpful friend to brighten up the night 
I wish they’d stay all year,  
But with each passing season  
They’d come and go 
Why for such a short time? 
But when they are here 
It’s as if time has stopped 
As if I could reach the stars 
Their beauty is unmatched by anything 
Though no beauty lasts forever 
The season will change  
And their beauty will fade away 
For those few seasons that they are away 
I will keep them in my heart  
Their beauty will never leave me 
And when those dark nights come 
The beauty of their lights will always stay with me
