Running Through The Field Of Fireflies

In a rainy night when there is dark outside Fireflies like little fairies decorate bushes and trees. They glow and give small twinkling light As small children it was such a fun and delight to run through the field of fire flies We used to catch them in our hands And enjoyed as if we were holding little lamps. Once we brought some fireflies to our home But mother asked us to release them Because they will miss their natural home. But as small children we wanted to see how the little fairies look in the day's light We kept them in a match box and hid it Next day we eagerly opened the match box Alas! There we found no fairy and no light Only small insects crawling sadly inside ​​​​​Where did the fairies go ', we asked our mother Mother said they are separated from their home They are sad and lost their light So be quick to release them After uniting with their families They will glow again to your delight. @ Bharati Nayak ​​​​​​​
