The One Things of Summer
One firefly lighting up the dark night
One bat fluttering with wings stretched outward in the sky
One buzzing crew of cicadas in the shadowed trees
One lazy tree laying down its trunk to the ground
One whispering grass waving adieu
One brown leaf fallen; the first of many
One star bursting a small stream of light
One ray of sunlight soon swallowed up by the dark clouds
One white moon welcoming the dusky evening
One person folding their well-worked hands
One prayer quietly spoken
One God, over all, answering, watching, listening, waiting
One Summer, now almost over
