Fireflies

I miss the days on my front porch

Watching the fireflies glow

A peaceful place where time stands still

Where all the honeysuckles grow

Where willows dance beneath the moon

And shadows come alive

A place without a care in the world

Where all the swallows dive

A place where God might come to smile

And marvel at His creation 

A place where angels watch in awe

Filled with jubilation

In a place that's filled with secrets

Where morning glories sleep

For they only awaken once a day

To watch the willows weep

I miss the days on my front porch

Back when life was slow

A magical place beneath the stars

Watching the fireflies glow

wow! this is amazing :) It took me to another place while I was reading- A happier place.. one where everything did use to be carefree.. I especially love the ending. "A magical place beneath the stars
Watching the fireflies glow"
Nicely done.

The peaceful moments we forever cherish and have us thinking back on. Your poem was very pleasant and joyous to memories, sweet memories of the past. :)
