“Lightning Bugs” by Steve Adams

My friend’s son just graduated from kindergarten and saw me doing

yard work. The next thing I heard was this little guy voice asking, “Mr.

Steve, what are you doing?” I had to chuckle under my breath.

I have been showing him how to identify Dogwood, Sassafras and

Hickory trees and, as he wandered over, I took a leaf and asked him

what tree that was from. Questioningly, his reply was, “Dogwood??”

Then, in typical little boy character, he was running off to catch a bug

he saw flying and returned a few minutes later proudly showing me a

lightning bug.

We laughed over catching them and he wondered if he caught a “whole

bunch”, could use them as a night light. Instantly, I was transported

back to my own childhood and fondly remembered spending countless

summer evenings on the farm doing and wondering the same thing.

Sometimes, it is nice to stop the busy schedules and let an aspiring first

grader remind me of the finer and simpler pleasures of life.
