Description
GOD OF FIREFLIES
Small hands, bare feet
Wet grass, hot breeze
White net, glass jar
Tiny lights in our yard
And I think, I think that
God made fireflies for little kids
Round and round they go, channeling your glow
God made fireflies for days like this
It’s all in your design – they fly for kids to find
Praise be the God of fireflies
School books, lunch break
Outside calls to play
Hard wind, crisp seeds
Twirl down from maple trees
And I think, I think that
God made spinning leaves for little kids
Up and down they go, happy to be thrown
God made spinning leaves for days like this
Small helicopter wings – they fall at little feet
Praise be the God of spinning leaves
~~
At different times they come out – little hints of you
In every change of season – little toys from you
And I think, I think that
God made dandelions for little kids
Round and round they go with every childlike blow
God made dandelions for days like this
It’s all in your design -they grow for kids to find
Praise be the God of dandelions
Praise be the God of spinning leaves
All praise on high – the God of fireflies
