Cherry Tree Butterflies

There was a cherry tree on our property Usually there would be butterflies in it The beautiful large red ones full of glory They flutter around just for my benefit They move so quietly up around the sky Sometimes they fly so very high, way up high Their proudest moments has to be in the tree Here motions are shown quickly, so very free

Love it, Russell. Would love to see those butterflies. They are so beautiful. There is a sense of innocence in your poem. Don't know why :)
