Butterflies
Butterflies
Big and bright and school bus size
A cloud of yellow butterflies
With the wind did sink and rise
On the way home from school
A hundred if there was a pair
They’re not aggressive – au contraire
They seemed to just float in the air
On the way home from school
The boys and I were mesmerized
Surrounded by these butterflies
Following us to our surprise
On the way home from school
A sight like this is awfully rare
From whence they came we knew not where
All we could do was sit and stare
On the way home from school
If I can then emphasize
And give advice both sage and wise
Always open up your eyes
On the way home from school
Mdailey 4/5/12
Written for my niece at her request following a ride home from school with her boys.
