What Do You See?

When you look at a butterfly, what do you see? The brilliant color and intricate design A soft, gentle creature, serene That morphs through its lifetime And debuts in spring Dressed in the most glorious attire Even royalty is envious Fragile but free with no inhibitions Pleasing the eye of its beholder When you look at a butterfly, what do you see? I see a conveyor bearing Two hearts attached for its wings Each independent of the other Yet they function as one Exploring enchanted gardens Tasting an array of choicest delights Come each spring two hearts reborn Grown together and morph into one When you see a butterfly, what do you see?
