Butterfly
I saw this Butterfly one day
just bathing in the sun
it had to be the month of May
because daisies just had sprung...
I wasn't well enough to say
just what was on my mind
but a butterfly told me to pray
and all would come in time...
He said "excuse me may I land
I see you're in dismay"
so gently I stuck out my hand
as he began to say...
" I know that sometimes life is rough
but I have faith in you
you’ll learn to harden and get tough
enough for your cocoon"...
and when you awaken you will see
the world through different eyes
as you ride the wind effortlessly
just like a butterfly...
