BE BUTTERFLY MY BUTTERFLY

Beautiful butterflies dance so majestically & fly so beautifully,
Heaving up and down like calm and beautiful sea,
Painted colours, joyous movements, beautifully marched up in the sky,
Brings the beautiful image of ‘my’ Butterfly into my eyes!

I’d love to take my Butterfly close to a butterfly,
And ask to look into its innocent pair of pearl-round eyes,
Ask her to sit real close and verify,
If butterflies ever shed a single tear, or ever cry…

The butterflies – I’d love to watch them race up and down,
And touch the final line of the glazing far-off horizon,
But alas! That sight shall ne’er be caught by our vision,
Even though my Butterfly and I keep gazing all the day long…

“So my dear Butterfly, try to be like those wonderful butterflies,
And I promise to help you shine in front of all eyes…!”
