When was the last time I heard the butterfly roar
I guess it must be when she drank from the Tiger Lily
What caused the tempest-in-the-tea-pot to slam the Bleeding Heart's door
Could be when the Snap Dragon's fire died making her feel chilly

When was the butterfly gentled and soothed by the Baby's Breath
Or did she throw her Lady's Slipper at the Jack-In-The-Pulpit
Chase a rainbow in the Lily-Of-The-Valley looking her best
Donning her Turk's Cap of scarlet facing all she met

Why should the butterfly arise with the early Morning Glory
Wait for the brillance of the Sunflower's warm light
Her Tulips softly smiling erasing any anger and worry
Bringing Roses to her cheeks until the Violet of twilight

When was the last time you heard a butterfly roar

Melissa, I love your butterfly garden!

Janet, I know what you mean! Glad you like it.

Sunshine, how cute a response.

Butterfly-my-kid, see what happens at 4a.m. and I'm bored!  A hidden garden.

Sven, thank you, sir.
