          By ... Steve Lucky

Firefly, with your light so bright
How did you disappear into the night?
Without your friendly glow I am lost
So I must find you no matter what the cost.
Can you turn your light on and off at will
Or do involuntary reactions control them still?
If I want to find you, where should I look.
Unless you glow, you can be mistook
For another type of bug flying through the air.
Distinguishing takes time, but I do it because I care
About the obsticles, whatever they might be
Because I want to be able to see.
Like you, I light a path for others to follow,
Even if the idea seems hard to swallow.
On the ground below and in the sky above,
Friends and enemies alike need love.
More than one viewpoint is needed to know
In what direction a group should go.
Dear firefly, this is why I look for your shine.
Without finding yours, I can not find mine.
