Fly Free and High: Butterfly

FLY FREE AND HIGH: BUTTERFLY The BUTTERFLY Flutters By A flying rainbow in light blue sky Coloring more a garden as it flies To each blooms, it dances and pries Fly free, Fly high Butterfly! My heart releases a deep sigh As the butterfly flutters by Children catch it with so many tries But so sweet, pretty butterfly lands on my thigh Fly free! Fly high, butterfly! Once a shy caterpillar hugging one leaf stem Shielding its body from the snowy tent Spring May comes and wind hums a warm lullaby Little by little its cocoon shreds away Revealing a transformed beauty, No one can deny! The butterfly flutters by and by Soaring into the sun! Fly free! Fly high, butterfly! The BUTTERFLY flutters by Keeping world's treasures and reasons why Awesome loveliness you freely display But it's pity Your life short to enjoy and play SPREAD YOUR WINGS on FULLEST THRIVE FLY FREE! FLY HIGH, BUTTERFLY! Before, you kiss the world Goodbye. Note: From my readings, butterflies lifespan depends on these: habitat, climate, gender and their specie type.Average lifespan is a month.One day for the garden butterflies. Monarch butterflies and Heliconians for 9 months. Spring butterflies 9-11months. Male lives shorter than females. 12:27am May 25, 2014
Life flutters by thus, everyone must push be brave to give all things a best try consequences are whirlwind of uncertainties but the thing is we give it a try our heart and soul pouring life never let it run dry If no money, medals or honor it is alright and always fine to our dearest God - divine these will not slip on thine spirits ripe, aims to deeper shine more precious than anything in mine
June 02, 2014 Contest: The Butterfly Flutters by Sponsor: Kelly Deschler 2nd place, to God the greatest glory.. :)

wow, you have created the ultimate butterfly poem here, and you taught me some facts about this marvelous creature that I did not know. I always assumed they lived less than even a month. Very pretty poem, dear.
