This one I wrote the summer of 2017. It started one night as I was standing in the driveway, watching the fireflies among the trees. I was moved thinking about how our Creator had made the little guys but I started working on the inspiration, I thought “This song could have an allegorical meaning as well. This is the result.

Fireflies

Standing lonely on the lane,

Feeling small and full of pain,

I gaze down the long, long road.

Seeing nothing on the Right-

Drifting toward the Left tonight-

A search for answers is misplaced.

Turnings eyes back to the right,

Catching a streak of light,

A firefly goes dancing by.

Darkness flecked at once with sparks.

Millions of tiny arcs

Start to gather all around.

Fireflies flashing their lights,

Signaling some hope to me;

Reminder that He loves and cares

Rescuing  wretches like me.

Blinking bright among the trees,

Resting on the emerald leaves,

The fireflies light up the night.

Flashing stars fly through the air

Splashing light everywhere

A testimony to His care

Jesus, I am kneeling down

Upon this holy ground

To thank You for fireflies.

Ones that journey along with me

Showing me truth. I see

A testimony to Christ’s love.

Standing peaceful on the lane

Knowing truth and love’s refrain

I smile at the long, long road.
