FireFlies

While walking along a dark road, I vaguely saw a green light ahead. My first thought was whether it was a torchlight of someone behind the trees. However the light weaved and disappeared. Then realized it was a firefly when I saw another green light floating in the air. Wow fireflies in Singapore! :) Was really a nice surprise to see fireflies.

Could still remember and humm the firefly song that was often played on air during my much younger days. Found its lyrics and kind of like it.

Fireflies only emits their brilliance for a short while just like in the lyrics "短暂的生命努力的发光". Is just like life, life does not always have fairytale ending that is reserved for story books. Treasuring and living our life well for the moment is what we can do and control.The ending depends on many external factors and will decide for itself. Hopefully despite the short brillance, we can just like the lyrics "让黑暗的世界充满希望". :)

萤火虫萤火虫慢慢飞
夏夜里夏夜里风轻吹
怕黑的孩子安心睡吧
让萤火虫给你一点光
燃烧小小的身影在夜晚
为夜路的旅人照亮方向
短暂的生命努力的发光
让黑暗的世界充满希望

萤火虫萤火虫慢慢飞
我的心我的心还在追
城市的灯光明灭闪耀
还有谁会记得你燃烧光亮
