A Butterfly Wish

A butterfly flitters graciously in the sky, 
  No barring or fortress claiming its path, forever why.

A butterfly owes nothing of money or fare, 
  Its light of existence, foregoing superficial care,

The beauty of a butterfly, great meaning here on Earth, 
  A universal symbol, signifying rebirth.

A butterfly so beautiful, held in the palm of your hand,
  Many put together we call a butterfly wonderland.

Do you think the butterfly knows of their magic in our lives, 
  How special for which they contribute, a midst no compromise.

A world they freely travel, without walls of resistance,
  To admire and love, upon centuries relentless.

A butterfly I’ll be, instead of expecting world renown,
  For my entrance in your world , surely never to be let down.
