you don’t know it

but i deem you as

my little ladybug

a small thing to protect

that brings luck in 

the most innocent of ways

the hidden trick up my sleeve

who’s every touch feels

as if i am being given a kiss

that can heal even the most

brutal of wounds

as you crawl up my arm

even the harshest of storms

and darkest of clouds 

may feel like the fierce hug

of a most-nurturing lover

you do not know this

but the day before we first 

laid eyes on each other

a tiny red ladybug caught my view

and brought forth the luck

of your presence

and now everytime we speak

the day before

a ladybug always

comes out of the light

and lands next to me

to inform me of what is to come

and let me know 

that all will be alright

and now as i sit here

i ponder whether the day 

before we miraculously 

cross paths once again

it will be due to the luck

of that very first tiny red ladybug

that caught my eye that april evening

deciding to come and see me

one last lucky time
