Cannot deny
You
can love a creature of beauty no matter what the breed,
Searching,
seeking, looking, finding until one glides at speed;
So
quickly it appears, the eye beholds a miracle of nature
Great
lengths to take a photo and hope to see you later!
They
have got challenging to find, others become so rare,
No
matter what the type is - in wonderment I'll stop and stare!
Want
you to crawl upon my finger - just for a little while
And
the memory of that delicate insect will always make me smile.
So
very very pretty, whatever variety you are,
To
see your precious open wings (I would go wide and far)
Plant
a hundred flowers and weeds to attract you to my meadow
Your
beautiful colours you've been given will set a garden aglow.
When
you appear you are oblivious to the thrill you give;
Above
the oaks, you thrill some folk during the time you live!
Through
your life cycle you captivate with your beauty and your grace,
You
colour the landscape until the day you pass away or hibernate.
I
love you so much butterfly and will do ‘til the day I die
Keep
looking low and high for something special - cannot deny.
Cherish
every moment, butterflies adorn my dwelling
But where in the future
will you be, there is no way of telling.
