Oh Dear My, Butterfly
Oh dear my, Butterfly
With your awkward flight that looks not right, does this cause you pain ?
Your beauty though proceeds you, but is it all in vain ?
You are a wondrous sight that beckons me to gaze.
In stillness you are a jewel amongst a flowery maze.
It is a cruel joke has been laid upon your wings.
Flukes of nature are those monstrous silly things.
It was you that taught me empathy, I do so feel your plight.
Is beauty that emboldens you, but your flight is not quite right.
