PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Give me the fire of The Bomb
I'll tame it
I'll warm the homeless
Give me partisan spin
I"ll unknot it 
I'll simply be honest
Give me just another moment
I'll clasp it
My firefly in a jar

I'll cherish each blink
Capture your glow in my mind
Then open the lid and wish,
See you on your way

And of the things I love most about life
It's that we can turn restraint into a hug
We can repurpose gun fire into fireworks
And we can give just because..

I'll give you my heart, all my life
Even if I only get a moment, one more time
Oh, my firefly

Give me the wire on the fence
Let's trade Civil
War for Tug of War and
Give me the hand that won't mend
I'll warm it
I'll dry it and dress it
Give me just another moment
I'll clasp it
My firefly in a jar

I'll cherish each blink
Capture your glow in my mind
Then open the lid and wish,
See you on your way

And of the things I love most about life
It's that we can turn restraint into a hug
We can repurpose gun fire into fireworks
And we can give just because..

I'll give you my heart, all my life
Even if I only get a moment, one more time
Oh, my firefly

Let's take inventions of madmen
Tame them
Turn them into toys
Let's taken golden chalices
Melt down each
Feed hungry children
Give me just another moment
I'll clasp it
My firefly in a jar

We'll sit and see the kids
Re-inventing gadgets once bent
On keeping them under glass,
Now look at their energy

And of the things I love most about life
It's that we can turn restraint into a hug
We can repurpose gun fire into fireworks
And we can give just because..

I'll give you my heart, all my life
Even if I only get a moment, one more time
Oh, my firefly

There's a dear little girl on my mind
And her mom once was, in my nights, a firefly
I wait for another summer's evening
Clasp my hands, close my eyes, hold on to wishing
She'll land
We'll start again

And of the things I love most about life
It's that we can turn restraint into a hug
We can repurpose gun fire into fireworks
And we can give just because..

I'll give you my heart, all my life
Even if I only get a moment, one more time
Oh, my firefly
