LIFE IS WHAT WE MAKE IT A LADY BUG'S TALE

Wasn't easy to find a pic that matched my poem lol

LIFE IS WHAT WE MAKE IT A LADY BUG'S TALE

Deep within the forest of green

Belies a kingdom seldom seen

A sad little fairy looks up at the sky

And as she does she begins to cry

A kindly ladybug on her travels stops to look

What ails you my little one

Look how bright shines the sun

I want to reach up and touch the stars

Alas my wings cannot carry me that far

The ladybug coughed and then she croaked

Coughed some more and then she spoke

The stars are still there they have not gone

They merely sleep when shines the sun

But you do not have to fly so far

For all around you there's beautiful stars

Each day when you open your eyes and look

There's many stars you've overlooked

The pretty flowers that dance in the breeze

The whispering chorus of the trees

We take for granted such special treasures

There's so much more in life than out of reach pleasures

For many's a time over a fence or over the other wall

Once we have it, we didn't want it after all

There's riches all around for the taking

We can have it all, our life is for the making

The ladybug dabbed the little fairy's eyes

Coughed again and said now dry your eyes

There is a treasure a jewel so close to me

She's standing here can't you see

And where is the treasure? the little fairy said

And holding up a mirror bright, the ladybug spied

It's you, your smile is as bright as the stars

Your eyes twinkle brighter than those afar

We can have the heavens on earth if we choose

It's up to all of us me and you

The little fairy at last understood 

And fluttered away in a better mood

As for the lady bug she coughed and then she sighed

And smiled as the stars came out to play in the darkening evening sky
