For my daughter, Thalia
Little lady bug
Little lady bug
Flying all around
Little lady bug
Landing on the ground.
Little lady bug
Little lady bug
The color of red
Little lady bug
Wearing a black dotted dress.
Where are you going,
Little lady bug?
Where have you been?
I wonder about your view
As you sit on the window sill.
Is the world the same
Where ever you lay
Because all the other lady bugs
Seem to dress in similar ways?
Oh no, little lady bug says,
We are not the same at all.
Even though we may jump and
Flutter our wings
Like each other,
You will see
If you get closer to me
That each dot on my dress is
Unlike any other.
And my flight path is determined
By my desired destination.
Little lady bug
Little lady bug
With quite a bit of perseverance
Little lady bug
Never again will you be underestimated.
