The butterfly


Thus the flower enticed the butterfly,
Minding its own business as it flew along,
Not worried about anything, it fluttered,
So beautiful, happy, and strong.

The scent of the flower drew it near,
And it sped along to take a sniff,
And there it stayed, happy,
Sometimes fluttering, sometimes stiff.

As it opened and closed its wings
Staying on the flower
Standing on its feet, as it sings
Of love and its power.

Now the sunflower turns
And gives the butterfly a smile,
So while the scorching sun burns
The two last a while.

Together as one
Happy as bees
They sit and talk
About those and these.

The flower realized one thing
That it is nothing without the sun
But nobody helps it more
Than the butterfly, that gentle one!
