Lightning bugs in a Mason jar

Shouts in the air

Children running here and there 

Lightning bugs flying by 

I try to catch him but he’s too high

The sound of laughter fills my ear

As I think back to younger years

My senses filled up to the rim

Childhood memories safe within

Lightning bugs flying by

The backdrop of a starlit sky

I catch me one in a mason jar

It’s shining bright just like the stars
