White Sulphurs
*White Sulphurs*
Gliding around my shoulders on a warm cozy afternoon
Dashing and diving to my cabbage patch depositing their love
For every time I see one my heart rises up new hope
For every time I see one my energy soars to the heavens
Oh how I wish I could fly like the white sulphur butterfly that is upon me!
How I wish I could ascend to the heavens and then sky dive below!
How I wish the cares of this world would leave me
Transporting the pressures of this life to fall upon my cabbage patch below
Oh to be a butterfly for just one afternoon!
See their descent of twirling and spinning
See their descent of gleeful decree
Oh to be like a white sulphur butterfly!
Oh to spring forth on a majestic journey!
