Barefoot girl out in the grass
has no idea how time should pass,
way beyond her hour to return from play said,
"The butterflies were too beautiful today".
*
Sitting in class as the teacher talked,
looking at the meadow, past the sidewalk,
when asked to answer, all she could say was
"The butterflies are so beautiful today".
*
Next she's walking down the aisle,
sees nothing but her intendeds smile,
she's giving a glow that made everyone say,
"How beautiful the bride is today".
*
Her husband came home to a mess again,
the house looks lide a big playpen,
she sighs as she answers in her gentle way,
"The baby was just too beautiful today".
*
Time flew by, how quickly it went,
her arms grow weak, her energies spent,
but this lady noticed, all along the way,
how beautiful the butterflies were -
each day.
