Firefly

Fireflies bob across the grass
Summer’s mystic twilight dance.
Lights flicker, glow for a breath
Then wink out, there’s nothing left.

In your life, how do you shine?
Are you like these fireflies?
Do some good when it feels right,
Then turn and blend in with the night?

Now see the stars burning bright.
Steady light shines every night.
They endure while fireflies die.
How will it be in your life?

To flicker for a moment
Stuck in a world lost to sleep,
Or high in heaven’s ceiling
Shine with the angles for all time.
