For the sun is in it’s bed,

The stars can be quite helpful

They can be your guides instead!’-Paula Mearns

Scarlet Ladybird

Please don’t fly away and hide

Behind the clouds from the sun 

Please don’t fly away and bleed

In someone elses hand

Please don’t fly away

And disappear in the red soil

Please don’t fly away

Don’t take away your red,red lipstick

You could make a red sea

Or just be a rose placed by me

You cloud be part of a red cross

Helping the sick and wounded

Or blend into the skin of a

North American Indian

Hide away in a red breast robin

With a brilliant red colour

Or make my skin glow like red blusher

You could cause a scarlet fever,

In my red heart

A hot,hot fever

You could leave me a message in red crayon

Call me from a red telephone box

You could wrap me a gift in red ribbon

Or start a fire in my red heart

Ladybird

If you fly away

I will look for you in a red coral bay

Watch the stars for a glimpse of Mars,the red quiet giant

Think of you eating strawberries,raspberries and red apples
