Once Upon a Butterfly

Once Upon a Butterfly

 

Fluttering on a breeze,

The butterfly flew with ease.

Knowing its flight

Depended on pure might.

 

From its cocoon,

It began its search of its truth.

Breaking forth to rise,

Once upon a butterfly.

 

With colorful outstretched wings,

It knew its being.

Aware of its call,

It had believed in all.

 

Having dreams only it could see,

And knowing that the only way to greet…

Was to soar high.

Once upon a butterfly.

 

Dreams take flight

When you believe with all your might.

So, spread your wings of faith

And wait upon grace.

 

Now, rest O soul,

For only God knows

The heights of the sky,

Once upon a butterfly.

I loved this poem. We will become a butterfly and we must spread our wings and let the wind and air of God guide us to where we need to be. Eventually it will lead us to Him. Thank you for sharing!

I really like how well your rhyme scheme worked out. It was a very beautiful poem in itself and I think the thing I like about it the most is how well I could visualize the word you have placed on this page. The only thing that was a bit off for me is your syllables were a bit off of eachother, maybe next time try to have more of a flow to it. Over all it was a fantastic read and I think well actually I know you did a truly amazing job on this piece, great work. Keep it up.
