I saw a ladybug alight upon a window sill

If I had not disturbed her rest, I'm sure she'd be there still.

I tempted her with gentle nudge to crawl upon my finger

She took offense to my advance and so declined to linger.

And though I'm sad I can't regret her sudden, swift departure

She'll find her peaceful solitude nearby

Of this I'm quite sure.
