The Firefly Song

I was at the computer writing an article while my 5 year old daughter was wandering around the house, singing a song she made up. I couldn’t understand all the words, but I typed out the ones I could because I thought they were cute and funny. I may have a little poet on my hands.

Morgan’s song

chubby cheeks with black and blue eyes
a cord that’s been bitten
a pretty room with a nice warm bed that my mommy sleeps in
i’ll make castles that are not messy
anytime you can play and make me fly with teeny tiny fireflies
fireflies glow like stars right here
a nice walk with a house with a castle inside

fireflies are little stars
anywhere that i love here to play right in my backyard
it’s so good and clean and soft
fireflies are sparkly anywhere that i sing
and the table is so shiny with the light on it
to play all the fishes, the wind is blowing
branches are breaking
frogs are so nice
knots untied with no knots
this summer we’ll go to the poooooooool
it’s so good, fireflies, sparkling chairs
and whole bunch of things here

Fireflies are glowing stars
two pumpkins with seeds
movies, watching them
anything that you care
anywhere that has a gift
with a thing that you care
fireflies are so goooooooood
i wish i could paint a cardboard seed
but i fell down on the couch
anyone to play with is a friend
a boyfriend, that plays with you
