butterflies...

Butterflies butterflies everywhere
close your eyes and turn three times
when you do you will see
all is there for you and me
time to play and time to dance
you just have to take a chance...

When time is done you will know
the chimes will ring and start to sing
just touch your toes and squeeze your nose
when your done repeat this verse
butterflies butterflies everywhere...

Be of haste
there's no time to waste
when you see a bell that starts to yell
this is how you know it is time to go and say goodbye
tomorrow is another day
there's time to play and time to dance
tomorrow you can take that chance
remember the chimes
remember the bell
for when you're there all is well

This reminds me when I was in Elementary School. My 5th grade class raised butterflies (during that year they were my favorite animal because of this).
This reminds me of the lovely sense of innocence and freedom those butterflies gave me.
Thanks for writing this.

This is really pretty. I like almost the sing-song voice in it. Oh and I loved how the rhyming worked so well.

Make these lines sound more alike, then you have a winner.
It would be nice in a children book.
