On the ledge
Lost to the night sky
She, alone
Sits, waiting
With starry eyes gazing fast
At her beloved

A story was told, by a little girl
To her teddy bear, named Harvey
A tale about a wonderful place
You could say, it was, quite marvey!
She told him, of a land, so far
Where people played all day
Beneath the shining sunlit sky
Among the golden rays.
And as she told her story
Harvey smiled, as teddy’s do
He knew the perfect ending
To make Junie smile, too.
With a wink of his eye, enchanted
He sparked the pages, bright
With bursts of yellow sunbeams
Oh, such a fabulous sight!
Junie started to giggle
She was happy as could be
Harvey, he held a secret
Yes! A magical bear, was he

Country girl
Left home readily
Big city
Brighter lights
Her daddy worried himself
Little girl no more

So many times she would walk by that jar
The one they kept hidden, near the trees
And though they told her never to touch it
She did exactly what wasn’t meant to be
Quickly, gathering the jar, in her hands
She ran off, beyond her home and her kin
Sitting down, for just for a mere moment
Mesmerized by the light, emanating within
Curiosity, got the better of her, poor girl
Needing to know, if the fire would grow
Opening the lid, without warning, it flew
Escaping in the forest, as fast as it could go
A look of surprise came across her face
When she realized what she had done
The light of day, suddenly began to glow
From a jar, in the forest, of the rising sun

It was quite the extravagant fuss
In fact, it was superfluous
To invite all the neighbors
To witness the labor
Then stand around and discuss
But Gina wanted it this way
All the ladies, at once, had their say
Name her Lucy, Meg or Tilly
But, oh no, never Willy
We just can’t wait for this day!
The men couldn’t stand anymore
Led their ladies right out the front door
Making one big to-do
Leaving Gina so blue
And angry at Jim, to the core
Poor Jim, he could feel the doom
As the due date did solemnly loom
Can you imagine the noise?
When they found out it was boys!
Not one, but two, baby boom!
