I'd give you a dozen fireflies

I'd give you a dozen fireflies

To shine some light on your face -

Surpassing a lamp and compass

In finding your way home.

I'd give you some honeybees

So they might hum you a tune

For when silence intrudes -

Knowing their sound will overcome

But I don't have either of these

So instead I hope you always

Find a light amid the dark

And keep a tune in your heart.

love how this transforms fireflies and honeybees into symbols of light and music for the heart. Even in acknowledging what we don’t have, it carries such warmth and hope
