The Ladybug Queen Poem

Lora loves to write poetry which captures our imagination with figures who embody virtue, kindness, and beauty of the soul.

The Ladybug Queen

There's a ladybug queen
who lives in a garden of roses,
of the flowers she takes special care;
a gown of petals and leaves she wears
from lovely roses grown there.

With gesture and expression so serene,
she is composed
of gentle concern for all creation;
she smiles at all the animals
living by a simple creed
to help those who are in need...

With her lovely
song she charms
and protects all from harm.

She plants the seed
as the desire to do a kind deed
to all those who come.
With her healing touch,
hate and fear disappear
without a trace...
in this magical place.

Enveloped in this aura of beauty

as they breathe in this

fragrant air,

those that are in despair

are born anew

in the light

of her care;

Keener are their senses,

with greater clarity is their vision-

they now see with more

accuracy than they ever had before,

as those who once had little regard for other life...

are newly transformed.

They leave now,

as they embrace all creatures

great and small,

with a greater sense of humanity

and a kinder disposition toward all.
