Little friend in the dark,
When e're I am lonely, you are at my command
With the single strike of a spark.
Your warm glow pulses,
Your crimson flames dance,
You are my refuge,
My comfort, my chance.
Elusive flickering fingers,
On a cold winter's night-
You are there to warm me:
My hope and guiding light.
You illustrate a swarm of fireflies,
With an upward shower of sparks;
You lick up any substance,
Dry leaves, twigs, and barks.
Promise me you'll never leave,
But guard me always through the night,
A caster of ghostly shadows,
Always strong, and ever bright.
