Butterflies and Marshes Mellow

I dreamt I was a butterfly
Dressed up in pink and white
I flew over a field of marshes mellow
And sprinkled clouds of white
Enchanting them into butterflies.

A field of butterflies we were
Of pretty pink and white
Till the sun came out and ran about
Melting us back to marshes mellow.

I woke up with a flying start
And caught a glimpse of my candy jar
I opened the lid, and out came a wrapper with butterflies
I unwrapped the butterflies and found a marsh mellow.
