One Summers Eve (Me, Myself & I Series)

One Summers Eve  

On one balmy summers eve, as dusk was setting in,

Me, Myself and I shared a little happy grin.

From the sky above, the stars had nestled down,

They were twinkling like tiny sparks,

Upon a warm and dewy summers ground.

In awe, we stood amazed at the flickering little lights,

They flashed by us so quickly, and darted to such heights.

A Dizzy spot of brightness, alit upon our thumb!

All together we started running, in the action of only one,

With a child’s new found excitement, we felt the fun that was to come.

Me, being the bright one, chose a jar for our collection,

Soon we were moving in every which direction.

One by one we caught those amazing lit perfections,

Weaving in the bushes, skimming across the grass,

They were so very silent in their acrobatic tasks.

They were so very beautiful in their ziggied sort of flight,

I ran into a tree, to Myself’s hysterical delight,

He’s gonna feel it too, I’ll just wait and see,

He fell right along with both, I and Me of course, you see.

He’ll have the same big bruise upon exactly the same knee!

When our jar was finally filled with a number of the glowing little bugs,

We showed our prize to mommy and she gave us great big hugs.

She said that we could keep them, in our room that night,

Poke holes into the lid and screw it down real tight,

Said they could keep us company and double as our night-light.

So off to bed we went, after we had washed my feet,

Nice cool sheets to sleep upon, soft blinking lights to sleep.

Our little friends just seemed to know when off to dreams we slipped,

They dimmed their brightness down and softly glowed a bit,

Mother tip-toed in and loosened up the lid…..

Out into the night, good-night to our friends she softly bid,

She set our nightlights free, quiet laughter she softly hid,

Tomorrow night, again we’d fine, flying free and high,

Fun within our great big yard…. lots and lots of fun,

Catching fireflies into the night; Me, Myself, and I.
