Jumping high,
She stretched with all her might
Fingers passing inches below
The first firefly of the night
It flew deep into the woods
She chased it far into the night
But she was not afraid
Following that firefly's bright light
In fits and bursts,
It grew dim, then bright
And as it led, she fearlessly ran
Deeper and deeper, into the twilight
The night grew darker
But the firefly brighter
The girl ran on as,
The forest grew quieter
This part of the woods
She had never explored
"Come follow me, follow me"
Her beacon implored
She followed yet further
The beasts of the forest grew near
But still she followed
And felt no fear
A last turn she was led on,
Then onto a beach
A pond, long held secret
She stopped, flushed as a peach
Soon she had to go back
With her the firefly stayed
To light up her soul
And forever brighten her days
