Fireflies

Our youngest glow brightest,that is why
People are like fireflies.

Youth's vigor is wasted on foolish forays,
and brilliant but vain displays.

Our fragile light lasts so little time
before life is over and undermined.

I wish to be a wise firefly
use my light to help those behind

If I share what light is mine
help others to see,light may come to me

and a better world I'll find.
