Chasing Butterflies
Fluttering across the meadows
I see butterflies that skip and dance
There are two together side by side
Must be in a romance
I called to them, guess they did not hear
Flapping their wings, they remained where they were
Oh how I would like to hold them
I wonder if this may occur
If I chase them they’ll fly away
Perhaps I’ll never see them again
I can wait for them to return
But I just don’t know when.
I’d scare them away if I ran toward them
They wouldn’t know that I meant no harm
Patience is a virtue I’ll wait right here
Wish they’d land right on my arm.
Some things in life are worth waiting for
Let time rule, just pause and hesitate
Don’t rush in, survey the odds
When you do, you will appreciate
