Love For God's Creatures
Brennan looks up into the starlit skies
The look of amazement in his brown eyes
There's a special wish that he is saying
He whispers to the stars, "God, I'm praying
that people will stop catching lightning bugs.
It would be better if they all had hugs."
I felt tears running down both of my cheeks
when of his love for God's creatures, he speaks.
He took the lid off the jar that he'd found
and released each one of them, safe and sound.
I said, "That's a nice thing you did tonight,"
He asked, "Are they going to be alright?"
I hugged my child, and he smiled up at me.
"Yes, Son," I said, "because you set them free."
