FIREFLY

It's twilight;

The owl glides fast.

My body-light beckons;

Sons of Adam stroll past…

[@more@]

 

I blink on in mystery;

I hover in flight.

My lantern shines richly;

I herald the night…

 

My purpose is steadfast;

My will never bends.

I shine for the glory

of Christ and His friends.
