Poem
~ She chased a pretty butterfly, the field a minty green With Salvia and Baby's Breath, a watercolor scene As fast as her two feet could run, she touched its silken wing, so vivid, a kaleidoscope, a stained-glass kind of thing When suddenly the grasses swayed, she felt herself ascend Then laughed as every tree below began to twist and bend It seemed that something magical had happened 'fore her eye She sprouted wings, the silken kind, she was a butterfly She fluttered to a hyacinth it's nectar sweet and tart and then she found a brand new rose, the perfect place to start Her new wings took her everywhere, from up to down below Way over there to over here, each way the wind did blow She saw a stream meandering and ripples from above They held a special meaning and were something she did love Beside her flew a flock of geese, they formed a perfect vee Now headed back to someplace warm in springtime harmony She flitted near a dragonfly that hovered very still Above an emerald lily pad, it gave her quite a thrill A blue bird said, "good morning" as it landed in a tree A squirrel grabbed an acorn as it waved so happily When suddenly a gust of wind, so fierce it made her fall She fell and fell until she heard, her mother's quiet call "Come on, wake up, you sleepyhead, the sun is shining bright". She rubbed her eyes, now so relieved her mom, a wondrous sight She said, "I had the nicest dream, I floated in the air Across the field, the garden too, I've got so much to share" Its then she sat up rapidly, a smile on her face "I think I better hurry 'cause, theres butterflies to chase" ~ Come on Soupers, let's go chase some butterflies!
