Ladybug
Ladybug, oh, ladybug
Why do you fly away?
Only to return again
upon a summer's day

Can you give to me the wisdom
to see the world through your eyes?
Are you really my guardian angel
in a brilliant disguise?

You float upon the wind
as free as time itself
Always making your own way
never asking for any help

You bring to me a smile
when you land upon my sill
Always there to pick me up
like you know just how I feel

I haven't seen you in a while
I wonder where you've gone
I wish to you God's speed my friend
And please hurry home

I remember this one, Jeffrey. I like it a lot! Thanks for re-posting it!  

If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a diffrent drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however

Jeffrey, the whimsical, almost wistful feel of this piece is truly delightful.
