Lil' Ol' Bug Poem by Bobbi Myers

Lil' Ol' Bug

Rating: 5.0


Have you ever asked, 'why? ';
As a bird passed you by?
Will you fly, like a bird, when you die?

As you walk through the trees;
Is there something you see?
Are those wings, of a bee that you spy?

Then, I spy on a bug.
Just a little lil' oil' 'bug;
I think twice, as I lift up my shoe.

Then I set it back down;
Ask myself, 'could it be? '
Could the bug, on the ground, have been you?

When this life ends for me;
Wonder where I will be?
Wonder what, in this world, I will do?

So, the next time you see;
Some ol' bug on the ground;
Wonder what, you will do with YOUR shoe?

We don't know where we'll be;
What we'll do; Where we'll go
We don't know, what it is we may see.

But, I wonder myself;
At 'ill' ol' bug'

But, I wonder myself;
At the end of this life,
Will that bug on the ground then be ME? the end of this life,
Will that bug on the ground then be ME?

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
In the early morning hours, I I sat on my stoop watching the moon/sun. I spotted a slug...not my idea of a 'Lil' Ol' Bug', but it gave me the inspiration for the piece. Enjoy!
