Butterfly oh butterfly.

Butterfly oh butterfly.

A Poem by Emily Jellybean :)

Butterfly oh butterfly, 
What do you do?

You zoom over flowers; 
You stay there for hours.

Butterfly oh butterfly,
What do you like? 

You like silence
You like nonviolence. 

Butterfly oh butterfly,
Where would you go
If you could float the world, and nobody would know?

You would visit a flower patch.
You'd lay your eggs and wait for them to hatch. 

Butterfly oh butterfly,
What happens when your babies fly away?
Do you glide around, and wait for another day?
Do you just visit flowers, and leave full and gay?
Do you follow your heart, and make new eggs to lay?
Do you sit there on a leaf, and slowly fade away?

You float around,
Graceful and sweet. 
Making not a sound,
You look for a delicious flower to meet,
After you meal, you're homeward bound. 


Butterfly oh butterfly, 
Where is your home?

Your home is in a garden planted right in the spring. 
Wondering what tomorrow might bring.
