Butterfly

Oh butterfly of the air
How arrestingly beautiful
Yet so delicate
And fragile you are
As even the slightest
Of all the breezes
Buffets you
Tumbles you around
What lies ahead
On this journey
You have so boldly undertaken
This journey of life
To where do you go
To what purpose
Is it worth it
With all the danger
That breathes in this world
Are you aware of the strength
You possess
An example to all
You should be
For though you are
Beautifully delicate and fragile
You boldly take life's challenges
With the bat
Of a wing
