Another butterfly kissed an ear "Then the trees of the forest will sing, they will sing for joy before the LORD, for he comes to judge the earth. " NIV 1 Chronicles 16:33 As I was walking down a path one day Along a dense dark wooded forest trail Saw a little girl, 'bout seven, at play Talking to a little bird looking frail. Little girl, I said, you should not be here The forest is not safe for anyone as young as you. Danger lurks; you should fear She laughed at me, said I'm having much fun. And a bee flew and landed on her nose She said hello, little bee, where've you been I've been waiting for you to play on my toes The bee seemed to talk, then flew away, then. A snake crawled along and slid on a toe She said hello friend then petted its head And it glided along where snakes do go Then a butterfly kissed her lips, so red. These are my friends, the little girl said They keep me safe from danger and all harm But they are scared of men who kills them dead God shows them their friends; a wasp touched her arm. In perfect creation, there's never fear So Mister, she said, why are you now here? As another butterfly kissed an ear.

"In perfect creation, there's never fear So Mister, she said, why are you now here?" That was a good question, and I am now curious of his answer. I really liked this, well done. ~* Carpe' Diem *~ |

As another butterfly kissed an ear. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Newell, This one has touched me deeply....You see that little girl was/is me! Yes....one can converse with nature. Bees won't sting and other insects won't bite if they know you are not going to harm them. Butterflies will land on you, as well as bees and tiny birds. They can sense it...oh, now I am going to start to ramble...lol...just let me say, I love this!! ~Warm hugs, Nancy~ ~Time has cast a spell on you, |
