Rolling

I am a kitten looking to the sky Blue butterflies are everywhere I roll in the green grass Peaceful as those butterflies Blue butterflies are everywhere I frolic with joy in this field Peaceful as those butterflies I am amazed by their beauty I frolic with joy in this field Staring at the wondrous wings I am amazed by their beauty Joy is their gift to me Staring at the wondrous wings I roll in the green grass Joy is their gift to me I am a kitten looking to the sky
