This songs is dedicated to the memory of the late great "Connor Ruscoe" who is now a " Dragonfly". Connor's Mother, Viv, used the following short story to explain to Connor's 5-year-old brother and 3-year-old sister why their big brother wasn't going to be able to come home anymore. I had never heard this story before and think it's quite lovely the way it explains mortality to a child. I thought maybe you'd agree, so here goes...
Living under the water in a lily pond were a colony of water bugs, they all lived happily together but every so often one would attach itself to a lily stalk and make its way up never to be seen again.
One water bug in conversation with the others said he had noticed this and had often wondered why this happened and what was on the other side of the water and more importantly , why none of the others had returned to explain. All the bugs made a promise that if they were to go up a stalk they would come back and say.
Well one day the very bug who had made the suggestion found himself stuck on a stalk, he made his way up and through the water to the surface, breaking through he found himself on a lily pad, things had changed - he was now air breathing and he'd gotten wings, suddenly he took off in a flash , soaring through the air. Just then he remembered his promise, "I must go back and tell the others" he thought, so with that in mind he flew down to water's surface, but much to his surprise he couldn't get through. After several attempts he decided to abandon that idea thinking that all his friends would know he tried to keep his promise. He flew off in to the sun knowing that they would all meet again someday as dragonflies.
