Her wings are starting to open She stops as the pain begins Slowly, slowly unfolding when The sun warms her from within She stretches her wings to full width Then flutters them for strength The pain is gone as they fold to fit And floats to the ground quick as a wink She gets a glimpse of bright colors As her wings re-fold in rest Such beauty surely belongs to others And this can only be a test No God gave her beauty inside and out Her light shines and warms you and me The lovely colors brighten all about My Butterfly is as special as can be Love you my Butterfly Thank you for being you |

M_E, That butterfly of yours is very special. I am honored to call her my friend. This was a wonderful write for her. Hugs, LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Janet Marie, she is stronger than I will ever be on those beautiful wings. Oh and the Monarch's are coming out down here. Thank you my Butterflies SS Sven, I wear a glow from the warmth y'all show her. I am a moth (big one) compared to her. Thank you, sir Martha Cowan thank you for such kind words. She is the youngest of 5. They are all talented in their own way, but I seem to bond more with her. Hugs.... |
