Butterflies Appear

As the fog materializes Some birds sing songs of love The Mockingbird sits fluffed quiet Coo, Coo floats from the Dove One lone buzzard soars in the fog Dampness coats plants and trees Waterdroplets form, hang; waiting, Water the earth for free Tiny buds and leaves appear They long to display gems Soon all will open wide those buds Atop those strong green stems Soon butterflies will appear and gently stroke each bloom Their gentle wings circulate air Arrive in Europe soon What kind of weather will those strokes create?_Mild or severe Will they bring gentle breezes there And sweet air perfumed Finis' If a butterfly gently strokes its wings in America, the molecules it stirs can profoundly effect the weather in Europe!!That is a fact..It is called the butterfly effect..
