Butterfly Alouette

Floating in the air Dancing oh so fair Flits from flower to flower On gossamer wing Making our heart sing Pollinating hour on hour Beautiful display Every summer day Fluttering delicately Bewitching our eye You soar in the sky Enchanting us so gaily 08~30~14 Contest: A Lovely Alouette Sponsor: Andrea Dietrich ~awarded 3rd place~
