Only a word

If I was a butterfly
How would you ever find me?
I hide among the flowers
The things I will never be

And if you were to catch me
How would you ever hold me?
Would your fear of harming me
Stop you from touching my wings?

Would I be displayed and framed
To be some kind of trophy
Or worse pinned up with many
To dry up and fade away

Love can always be forever
Memories will be forgotten
And then time will continue on
But there will some day be a time
When you can no longer chase me

Destiny is only a word...

I love those lines, in particular...

Very much enjoyed the read...

of power the world will know peace."
