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 *********************** by: Jeffrey Carter This was written for a friend who's daughter left for college two thousand miles away. Sorry guys me muse is on vacation [This message has been edited by Jeffrey Carter (edited 09-10-2000).] |

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. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |
