Ode to the Butterfly

My Butterfly, you inspire me to write

How I love the way you twirl, dance, and fly

Invading my mind, day and through the night

Always dreaming about the midnight sky

You are so alive, unreal, and pretty

Strong breeze flaps the giving dancers of May

Your spirit lives for all eternity

Let your fluorescent wings take me away

How do I love you? Let me count the ways

I love your eyes and personality

Thinking of your sweet smile fills my days

My love for you; an informality

Now I must away with a witty heart

Remember my deep words whilst we’re apart
