When Our Picnic's Over

Rating: 5.0


The dumb innocent girl expressed her inner feelings to the blind companion.
I watch and realized what she wants to tell;
' Hey! I 'll give you a warm kiss if you sing me a sad song.'
Instead of him I muttered my favorite nursery rhyme.
' I am a little firefly
Look at me!
I am as happy as I can be.
See my light flicker and shine so bright
Now watch me fly into the night.'
I was really amazed by seeing their innocent smiles.

You write with a compassionate pen. I love the little firefly song. I believe I will take it with me. Thank you, Nimal. Fond regards, Sandra

Your firefly seems to have landed on the hearts of your dumb girl and her blind companion. Innate and intuitive sensitivity is displayed in many of your poems, Nimal. This one is particularly poignant. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
