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.

A beautiful poem, Jeffrey. But your friend must remember that his daughter has gone off to better herself. Although they may miss her, it's for the best. "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." -Oscar Wilde |

Jeffrey - very good, my friend! "Ladybug" is also my Mom's nickname for my little sister, Mindy - well, guess I shouldn't say "little," as she is now married with two kids of her own... I love you, man!  Troy Beautiful, Thought-Provoking Poetry http://www.h-systems.net/p1.htm |
