Just For Me

A lovely vision caught my eye

A pirouetting butterfly,

It climbed a sunbeam as it danced 

As in the air it turned and pranced,

In my mind it seemed to be

A little ballet... just for me.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

And it was. All of nature is attuned to spirit...even the little butterfly knows the beauty of colors, dance, appreciative eyes and a loving heart. Love your little gem! Great, uplifting read. Thank you.
