Array ( [sid] => 103839 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Butterfly. [time] => 2005-08-18 14:06:03 [hometext] => [bodytext] => I saw a lovely butterfly,
Dancing an age-old dance.
Fluttering from flower to flower,
As if in permanent trance.
From buttercup to daisy on to sweet smelling rose.
I in my humility watching your each ecstatic pose.
Rising high, sinking low,
Each nuance of colour a friendly glow.
You are not miserly your brilliance to show.
Seeking sweet nectar from heavenly blooms,
Lifting me high from out of my glooms.
Were you sent from heaven on high?
Descending from a warm summer sky,
Dainty yet tireless in your earthly flight,
Where do you retire in the darkness of night?
At the break of dawn I will see you again,
Performing the dance of perpetual fame.
Delightful to see a treat for my eyes,
You heavenly visitor from out of the skies.

Butterflies and children. My two favorite things. This is such a lovely write. We have butterflies everywhere out here in the country. They are such a joy to just sit and watch. Beautiful work, my friend.

Love to you and Martha,
Rita
