Butterflies
There is something magical about
a butterfly;
I don't know what, but I suspicion.
The flitting about the garden,
the sun's glint on the
Colorful hues marking a real
garden event.
I know that all stops when I
am in the garden
And I see one, coming into the
blossoms, flying
About and finally landing, maybe,
on a flower.
There is something magical about
a butterfly;
I don't know what, but I suspicion.

The butterfly
Flitting thru the garden,
Is a golden leaf;
Sent to embellish the garden.

"I've always thought
Butterflies were magical;
Flitting about the world
Bringing colorful moments,
To the earth."

May the wings of the butterfly
kiss the sun
And find your shoulder to light on,
To bring you luck, happiness and riches
Today, tomorrow and beyond.

"Butterflies add another dimension
in the garden for they are like dream flowers---childhood dreams---which
have broken loose from their stalk and escaped into the sunshine."----Miriam Rothschild, The Butterfly Gardener, 1983

Oh, butterfly, where have you
been?
I have not seen your likes here
before.
Are you an itinerant traveler
in my garden,
You are welcome!
Seeking out the fine nectar and
treasures which are there?
Oh butterfly, where are you going?
