Ladybug Day

Ladybug, ladybug where are you today, The days grow long and winter is on its way
The leaves on the trees are beginning to fall, your journey is so long for one so small.
May the wind bring you swiftly to this place where I wait the day that you come, for me, is so great
You bring all your friends and you fill up the wall and I am so happy to sit and watch you all
As you crawl and you search for your winter space I hope you will find a cozy little place
In this old house to rest till spring when the flowers grow and the birds sing.
The wind will call and you will go on your way I'll see you again next ladybug day!
