Dotty little lady bug,
I would give you such a hug
but if I hold you close to me
I’m afraid you’ll cease to be
so I shall place you on my finger,
maybe you won’t go, but linger
till a breeze lifts you away –
another flower, another day.

Polka-dotted lady bug,
I would give you such a hug
but if I held you close to me
I’m afraid you’d cease to be
.
so I shall place you on my finger,
maybe you won’t go, but linger
till a breeze lifts you away
to meet again another day.
