The Butterfly
Oer grassy meadows
Beneath the clear blue sky
Through dazzling rays of sunlight
Drifts the lovely butterfly

She sways her wispy body


As gentle as a breeze
Jovial in her freedom flight
With pure and simple ease

Her beauty shimmers brightly


With colors all aglow
Sentiment of peacefulness
Is only hers to know

Once a fuzzy creature


Without beauty and grace
She flies in songlike elegance
In all of time and space
Lauren Pierce
