I know a Butterfly


 
I know a butterfly

She sits on petals new

None have her beauty

This is true
 

Gently sipping nectar

The faintest tremor of wings

I’m sure she knows I’m watching her

And deep inside my heart sings

 
I have known the butterfly for many years

She has shared with me some tears

And many of my fears

And she still stays true to me

 
She lessens lightning

When she smiles at me

I think she can probably see

Just what’s going on inside of me

 
I offer her praise

For her gentle strength

Her golden heart

And her truth

 
Of all the butterflies

She is the lightest one

And I thank her

For she showers me with sun
