Oh Dear My, Butterfly

Oh dear my, Butterfly

 With your awkward flight that looks not right, does this cause you pain ?
 Your beauty though proceeds you, but is it all in vain ?

You are a wondrous sight that beckons me to gaze.
 In stillness you are a jewel amongst a flowery maze.

It is a cruel joke has been laid upon your wings.
 Flukes of nature are those monstrous silly things.

It was you that taught me empathy, I do so feel your plight.
 Is beauty that emboldens you, but your flight is not quite right.
