Love Touches Gently

Love is like a butterfly, Gently it touches on lives. Just a tiny flutter; lifts high. In awe we stand, watch strive. Just a glance of kindness see, Restores a right spirit friend More like a butterfly be, As patiently he faces the wind. Aspects of love through butterfly's Courageous flight; as suffers Loveless blooms whose nectar snuffly But found high and dry though bolsters The butterfly's example be kind Gently touch on all mankind. Contest: Give Me Your Best Shot Sponsor: John Freeman
