Butterfly

Come little butterfly land on my hand,
Love me like only a butterfly can,
Lightly and sweetly in the morning light,
Mine for a moment before you take flight.

Sweet little butterfly I can see,
Just how special you are to me,
You brighten every life that you touch,
That is why we love you so much.

Dear little butterfly stop by today,
Oh how we wish you could stay,
I want to hold you but I know,
If I love you I must let you go.

Worth another visit indeed. A lovely and enchanting poem. The first two lines are magical and the poem is delicate just as should be for a butterfly. Absolutely lovely.
