"Firefly" by Jacqueline Woodson

Firefly
by Jacqueline Woodson

It's almost May
and yesterday
I saw a firefly.

You don't see
them a lot
in the city.

Sometimes
in the park
in the near dark

one comes out
you'll hear
a little kid shout

Lightning bug! Firefly!

It's almost May
and yesterday
I caught a firefly in my hand.

First firefly I
seen in a 
long, long time.

Make a wish,
Miss Edna said.
Make a good one.

Firefly wishes always come true.




Read, listen, share, create, and be on watch.
