on this bright new day
flutterbies are out to play
one landed on my chest
looking for a place to rest

gazing at that wee small face
it's eyes watching just in case
wondering what was the deal
how come these flowers are not real

watching me, watching it
both of us with such wonder
then away it did split
leaving me to sit and ponder

there is but a short time to exist, love,laugh,live and never stop believing in miracles

A close encounter with a butterfly.  How nice and nicely said.  Love, Joyce

I love when wild things (animals, insects, even some people LOL) sit and ponder with us. That is sooo cool.

Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we're here we might as well dance.

Annie:  I enjoyed your poem.  I just took a picture of a Pale Swallowtail that landed near me on the arm of my chair. It's so neat to get a really close look at them.

Love
Betty Lou
