My Dragonfly and Me





If I could be a Dragon Fly
and wing my way through the sky
I would never be shy
just me and my Dragon Fly!

By moonlight we ride the wind
chase the comets tail for fun
by day we would hide from the sun
our fragile wings would come undone

On darkest nights we would use
fireflies as our guide
we would dip and we would glide
through the heavens open wide
and scatter diamonds in the night sky
my Dragon Fly and me...

And we would wing past our lovers
silent in the night...
to kiss their face in our flight
much to their surprise and delight
my Dragon Fly and me in sight...

Such a view do we share
away up here in the air
of breezes soft through our hair
my Dragon Fly and me a pair...

Just a bit inside: The Phillies' Jimmy Rollins takes one right between the eyes, compliments of the Indians' very own Nuke LaLoosh, Cliff Lee. Rollins stayed in the game.

Tricks are for kids: A Eurasian crane chick pecks at morsels offered by a spoonbill at the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust in Slimbridge, England. The crane-breeding project uses mechanical adults so the baby birds won't imprint on humans.

Macaw aboard! Susan Kleven and Tommy McPherson of the Frank Buck Zoo ferry a parrot from the zoo's flooded bird house in Gainesville, Texas. At least five people were killed by high water in a handful of North Texas towns.

Breath of life for a pet in peril: Firefighters give a white rat oxygen after pulling it out of a burned cage during a house fire in Pocatello, Idaho. It survived the blaze along with five of the six cats in the home.

A firefighter takes a moment after helping douse a fire that claimed the lives of nine of his comrades at a furniture warehouse in Charleston, S.C. The firemen were killed when the roof collapsed in what was described as a "tornado of flame."

Neck to neck: Dragon boat rowers paddle furiously in a race near Hong Kong's Aberdeen Island. The Dragon Boat Festival races honor Chu Yuan, an ancient Chinese scholar-statesman who drowned in 277 B.C. while denouncing government corruption.

A head for the horses: It's time again for England's Royal Ascot meeting, a series of horse races watched by uppercrust Brits in silly hats. Yevette Jelfs' lovely burlap-and-dead-fern ensemble was by no means the silliest.
