Oh Lovely Ladybug

Collection: Ladybug Poems

Oh lovely ladybug,
take me to a land so fair
where I do not have a care…

In a meadow where
a rainbow bridges earth and sky,
and hills that reach high–
where there are bluebells and
cowslips everywhere.

In a dress like yours
that is red with black spots,
let me dance on flower tops…

And sip tea
in a lovely lea
with the ladybug queen
who has never been seen.

Let me be light
as a feather
and give me wings
so I can take flight–
to a land of ladybugs
filled with such delight.

~ Lora Hollings

The ladybug first appears in moments of simple delight in The Ladybug Poem and moves gently through the passing hours in The Ladybug’s Day, surprising us in There’s a Ladybug in My Bed and revealing quiet personality in Lydia the Ladybug. By the time we reach the tender admiration of Oh Lovely Ladybug, the ladybug has become more than a passing visitor. These small encounters ultimately lead to A Ladybug of Culture, where the ladybug’s quiet presence invites reflection on perspective, attention, and the deeper meaning hidden in life’s smallest details.
