 Catch A Butterfly

~THE SIG BOX~


Catch a Butterfly

 

No matter how hard I try

I just can't catch a butterfly.

I reach beyond my hopes and dreams

And then they flit away, it seems

 

The Butterfly understands the reaching up

Of my flailing hands, and must escape

Or be caught forever in a warm embrace

That, for a butterfly, would be a disgrace.

 

For Butterfly's are wild and free,

And certain death would surely be

Better than a captured soul,

Yes, death would take its awful toll.

 

No matter how hard I try

I just can't catch a butterfly.

Just let me rest; in mild repose,

A butterfly just landed~~~on my nose!!!
