Butterfly Magic
How do butterflies
learn to fly
so far and so high
is it by their mother’s side
as she whispers
fly just like me
do butterflies have
a secret friend
like the magic elephant
who lives under my bed
and plays in the dark
talking only with me
do butterflies fingerpaint
with the colours of the rainbow
can they swim under the sea
and play hide and seek
for ever and ever
with their best friends
do butterflies make wishes
upon their favorite star
in the midnight sky
do they have to brush their teeth
and have to take
a nap at three
do butterflies have a map
to find their way home
after flying here and there
all day long
do they have to eat broccoli
like me
