Chasing fireflies one night with a full moon above the rise,

Worries of heart escaped one by one with count of the flies,

A setting sun and a rising moon on opposite sides of the earth,

With a rebirth of happiness I wondered what is a firefly’s worth,

On a warm September night I saw your image high in the sky,

Yes I was playing like a child watching clouds float I won’t deny,

As I laid on my back to watch the cloud of you drift slowly by,

The purity of love engulfed me with sensations making me cry,

Soon fireflies and butterflies of the evening were dancing in air,

As each thought of my past came through I found I didn’t care,

Because of you I’m filled with love and said farewell to despair,

In but thirty seconds of joy I’ve realized this is the face I’ll wear,

Fireflies and butterflies dance but a minute or two as the sunsets,

Then I wondered do butterflies leaving the night carry any regrets,

Thinking that firefly was so cute I wish I had taken just one chance,

Tomorrow with courage I swear I’ll ask that glowing firefly to dance,

Upon realizing I was once that butterfly and you were the light I saw,

So happy I had the courage to ask you out although I had many a flaw,

Then a light came on to awaken me that I was asked out by a cute firefly,

Each time I was lost you found my soul to tell me you were standing by.

The end.  By Pat for Patti.  I love you baby.
