There are little fireflies that light up our front yard every night.

We spray ourselves with 'OFF',

The girls grab the nets,

And an empty jar with holes in the lid.

We stand watch on the front porch,

waiting to spot the first firefly near the oak trees.

Firefly Light

Firefly Bright

The first Firefly I see tonight

I wish I may, I wish I might

Have the wish, I wish tonight

We catch fireflies and place them in our jar.

The release of the fireflies occurs in the backyard,

so that our yard becomes full of twinkling lights.

The release of fireflies is like watching 'fireworks'.

The fireflies fly up into the night sky,

releasing their TWINKLE.

We make our wishes!

We hope your firefly wishes come true, too!
