Elusive

ELUSIVE Puppy love’s kiss when I was thirteen First time a butterfly fluttered by me Learned all the cheers of the cheerleading team When next did the butterfly flutter by me….. Cause one of those cheerleaders my special she GIMME A B! for the Butterfly that fluttered by me… Went off to college to get my degree Again did a butterfly flutter by me… Math degree earned plus matrimony Sei bellissima butterfly fluttering by me As my children born, each one a beauty For each did a butterfly flutter by me Alone once again, yet hopeful I be by and by that the butterfly flutters by me… © 2014 all rights reserved Written for Butterfly Contest
