| BUTTERFLY |
| Butterfly flickering in my sight Wings so delicate and light Unpredictable, elusive flight Such a summery delight I never could understand why they chose to name you "butterfly" The term I use is better applied I'll always call you "Flutterby" You dance in the air and dart about Carefree, as though you are without any destination or route Leaving your admirers in doubt It's fun to watch you move in grace playfully from place to place With pulsing wings, like living lace while pausing over a flower's face Oh please don't leave - I know you're shy but I'm not ready to say goodbye Oh how I wish that I could fly and flutter with you up into the sky |
