Ladybird Poem by David Andre' Klopper

Bright orange lady floating on her back,
Lost and drowning until I brought you back,
Almost to late to extend your fate,
I blew away your tears and my fears,

Settled in the sun you no longer look so glum,
What a way to start my day,
If I could only hear your voice,
I could try to shape your next choice,

I left you alone on a green leaf,
Hoping that there would be no need for grief,
Next time I came along you were gone,
Flown away to live another day,

The smallest thing, quite by chance,
I saved it's life and it made me dance,
Life's grace lit my face,
Fear gone without a trace!

So life turns around and around,
You to me, we are all bound,
Spirit lives and guides us all,
Even when we fall!

So when life is a grind,
Turn away from your mind,
Follow your heart, for faith is strong,
It will take you to where you belong!
