If I Were a Butterfly
If I were a butterfly...
Your yard might be the place to fly.
I'd flap my wings and fly all day.
From tree to tree...I'd bounce my way.
I'd ride hot puffs of air
Like a roller coaster at the fair...
Like a schooner on the ocean's waves...
I'd soar and swim the sky all day.
And when your children came to play...
I'd dance about their noses.
They'd laugh and chase
And then I'd hide...safely in the roses.
I'd perch among the sharpest thorns,
My wings...the roses to adorn...
Tomorrow I might float and soar...
Visit neighbors yards next door.
And when my flying day is done...
And I am finished having fun...
I'll float and flutter back through space...
Your garden ...still my favorite place.
