Loves Cost

I’faith the cost of love seems none
when love for one child bears
It’s strange, it’s odd that one could care
so much for one so young
 
Look you upon that tiny face
that glowing elfish grin
Remember well I do the din
her laughter filled the place
 
And in her hand she gently holds
an insect - 'twas so small
But it, to her, my human doll
Seemed daring, dang’rous, bold
 
To her I smiled; praised her foray
told her I was proud
exalting her in voice so loud
the insect flew away

This was written after looking at an old photograph of my little cousin, then four years old, play with a firefly.
