Lightning Bugs
by: A C Hayes
It’s almost dark
The breeze feels so good at the end of a hot summer day
Lightning Bugs are waking up as the world goes to sleep
One, two, three…they dance around in the night
I watch and go back in time when life was a much simpler place
A time where the biggest decision was what classes I should take and which boy to date
Now I must decide which bills need to be paid and which ones can wait
Lightning Bugs are so carefree
They come out just before the stars light up the night
I remember when I was young and carefree and love lit up the sky
Now I go to bed at ten and sleeping late means waking up at eight
Oh to go back to those hot summer nights, where young love lights up the night and I was carefree and full of dreams
