A Butterfly, Please







                          Oh, Lord, let me be a 
                          great butterfly, please?
                          Not a human, down on 
                          my knees.
                          Or a hummingbird, I may 
                          like that!
                          Zooming above your earth, 
                          in my plumaged soft hat.
                          Even a cute, adorable bunny 
                          with pinked nose, that would 
                          be both darling and funny.
                          Even a sweet, calico cat can 
                          you please turn me into that? 
                          Please, Lord, listen to my plea!
                          Free me from a pathetic mortal be!

How true and fun it would be to be able to transform into another being just to escape for a day or so.

Yes...we all have fantasies to be other than what we are....bummer we cannot change at will. I would also love to have. The serenity and laid-backness of a soft feline! Purrs Panagiota Panagiota.

Wouldn't that be good, the only problem we'd have would be which flower to land on next. Tom

I know, sometimes, we all feel like that, especially looking at the violence that storms the world:)

Jo, ah, if we only knew world history. Think of the Trojan Horse? Wars are a constant.look at the streets of the USA.,Murder Inc! Just keep pitting groups against each other, then catastrophe. Man thinks he is God now and will solve all problems! Satan’s ultimate plan is world dominance. Watch the American History Channel..,WW I was way brutal, so was WWII Korea, etc. Panagiota
