The Fireflies



When all the lights
are  put off at night
I like watching
Fireflies in the
dark sky
They often comes
In tall trees or in
The pond where
Tall plants are...
I'm amazed how
They carried their glow lights
through out the night.
To attract them
Back i  don't trim my tall plants
so they could come back at any time
They want.
