Loved the video and went back and watched the video of the baby bluebirds too. And of course greatly enjoyed the writing. Please more of the same or similar!
As I slowly and haltingly return to my happy place for nurturing the long-absent muse, I hope to put flesh on a lot of bones too long drying in the heat and torpor of covid and other ongoing impediments to focused thinking and writing. We'll see how it goes. Glad you enjoyed the fanciful speculation over top of a few facts.
Oh, how fortunate to be a June bug,
With wings so strong and colors so bright,
To dance in the moonlight, a joyful hug,
And bask in the warmth of summer's light.
Yet, how much more blessed we are,
To be free of the Japanese beetle's fate,
To avoid the gardener's wrath, so far,
And not be deemed a pest, so innate.
For they, too, are insects of the summer,
But their legacy is one of destruction,
Their feeding habits, so greedy and glummer,
Their presence, a gardener's frustration.
So let us count our blessings, we June bugs,
For the gift of life, so free and so grand,
And not take for granted, our humble hugs,
As we journey through summer's wonderland.
For in the end, it matters not the name,
But the joy of living, in all its glory,
And the fortune we have, to play life's game,
A part of nature's endless story.
Oh, the joy of having the perception of a June bug,
To see the world through its eyes, oh what a thrill!
The colors of the sky, the blades of grass, so snug,
The beauty of nature, oh how it can instill
A sense of wonder and awe, as we fly and roam,
The world below us, so vast and so grand,
The wind in our wings, the freedom to roam,
The joy of living, so grand and so unplanned.
The buzzing of bees, the chirping of birds,
The rustling of leaves, the scent of the earth,
All these and more, our senses are stirred,
As we revel in the joy of our June bug birth.
So let us cherish this gift, this wondrous perception,
And embrace the world with all its beauty and grace,
For in the eyes of a June bug, we find perfection,
And a reminder of life's endless embrace.

Okay....I guess it's okay
You just HAD to name her Judy?
Sorry my commitment to alliteration was just too strong to resist! \{ ; > ))
