Butterflies

 

“Butterflies   https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/10466627
by Maisie Aletha Smikle

Colorfully colored butterflies
Black yellow orange and green
With their beautiful specks
Align the garden decks

Butterfly butterfly…
Lovely flies that ain't got butter
Their beauty makes one stutter
And their heart go pitter patter

And will soon melt like butter
They won’t eat from a platter
And one can only mutter
Butterfly butterfly ....

Radiant as the sunshine
Beautiful as the colors of the rainbow
Harmless as a deer
Adorn for all to see

First it was a caterpillar
Crawling on its tiny legs
It's entire body stretches out on a leaf
In the twinkling of an eye

The caterpillar transforms
And are given wings to fly
And fly it must….
It was not created to crawl

Miraculous indeed
Is the life of a butterfly
Displayed for all to see
Hope in the life of a radiant butterfly”
