I Am Not Entitled

A gorgeous butterfly A beautiful flower blooming Aware of the distress that unbridled hands can bring I don't try to hold them Pick their petals Or run my hands along their stems Or wings I take in the way they look Admire them for an instant And leave them be I feel like just because something is appealing And I might want it to be mine Doesn't give me the right To stop And treat it like it does
