The Tiny Light
I see a tiny light.
It illuminates the night.
It lights my hands.
It lights my feet.
It lights a leaf.
The light is wild.
It flies free.
What can it be?
It’s a firefly!
I watch as it flies into the night.
It illuminates the night.
It lights my hands.
It lights my feet.
It lights a leaf.
The light is wild.
It flies free.
What can it be?
It’s a firefly!
I watch as it flies into the night.
