Sweet Mother Nature
I started out chasing an always beautiful Butterfly
At a very tender age, maybe five......
With curiosity ,my little legs moved along with it
As it flew farther and made short stops on what attracted it's eye ..
I wondered what was going on in my young mind,about,
this awesome Butterfly.....
Away I was from home, lost I was to my family ...
I followed head-on with smile beaming on my face,
for the attraction is lovely
Guarded I was with love, love of nature
It winged up and took another almost slow but fast stop on a lily
Beautiful fragrance of the flower bloomed the more with a feeling...
Home-feel' I'm sure I must have felt in that quest of curiosity.
The Butterfly must have flew far But I stayed close
Near the sight but far from sight I was, for I was been searched for..
By my family and of course, foe ......
For I was going after a dream, beauty as it all seem...
I was never lost, for what made me leave home was known...
Memories my step-mom basked in, love in her tone, smiling about how
I made them all scared...
Knowing I had followed a Butterfly
Seeing me cheering at it made everyone sigh ....
A memory In my unconscious mind....
Nature in the eye of a Butterfly....
