I was touched by a sweet butterfly As it fluttered around me Then quietly landed nearby I could only watch to see Where it would go next to be A gentle, perfect creation flew High and low from flower to tree A magical flight moved me to be ---- Ever So Free ---- Heidi Sands 6/19/17 Placed joint 1st place in the Standard Contest 163.

Hi Richard. Thank you so much. Interesting, they are blooming right now and I just saw the Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly on them again, the other day! Just as this was. They love them. I appreciate your comment. I have let the troubles in our country get to me too much and have ended up blocked with writing. I have to keep trying. Take care :)
