butterfly

Love is like a butterly in so many, many ways,
it brings a bit of sunshine even on gloomy days
it makes our souls feel lighter just to know it's there,
and gives our spirits wings, as if floating in the air
it carries us to places that we never knew before,
and comes in many sizes, shapes and hues galore

once we've seen it, we wish to hold onto it so tight,
but like a frail butterfly, we must allow it free flight
for if we should try to cage it up and hold it in a pen,
we'll surely crush it's wings, and it'll never fly again
to keep that love glowing in our hearts each day,
we must remember always to give some of it away

every little bit we give to someone else to share,
comes back tenfold, and we've got so much to spare
put you love on gossamer wings, and give it flight,
it will return to you, and bring you much delight.
