Marsh Fritillary

I watched a pretty butterfly
Emerging from her chrysalis.
Her folded wings, not meant to fly
Until they're dried by suns first kiss.
Then with her wings a-fluttering,
She waited there until she knew
That they were strong enough to wing
Her weight away and then she flew.
I sent a wish for her to take.
At Heaven's door, I hope she'll lay
My wish upon God's windowsill
And He will honor it, someday!

Betty Lou -- this was full of light, loveliness and hope.  I really enjoyed the picture, the meter, rhythm and rhyme -- all of it, as well as the picture it painted in mind!   ........jo

Dear Betty Lou

A beautiful 'delicate' poem.  Butterflies are God's rainbows in flight.  A one day wonder.

Love Isobel ox
