Fireflies

Sitting on the front porch watching as the sun slowly sets over the fields, the kids with their jars as they play a game of hide and catch with the fireflies.
Remembering when I was a child at my Grandparents house in Hoffman, Il, how it felt as though those evenings would last forever.
Watching, as my children make those memories that someday they will look back on and find those smiles, ones someday they will share with their own children.
Flickers of light, catching each one holding onto them before they are gone, they pass so fast. Memories and smiles found in something so simple as fireflies in an old ball jar,moments when life becomes so easy.
