A BUTTERFLY LIGHTS BESIDE US.
"A butterfly lights beside us, like a sunbeam...
and for a brief moment it's glory
and beauty belong to our world...
but then it flies on again, and although
we wish it could have stayed,
we are so thankful to have seen it at all."

BUTTERFLY
Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly.
Fly abundantly into the sun.
If you should return to me,
We truly were meant to be.
So spread your wings
and fly Butterfly
~~By M. Carey.~~
THE BUTTERFLY.
There was an ugly caterpillar,
That would do not a thing but eat,
He thought he was quite handsome,
Then he saw his defeat.
He met a beautiful butterfly,
With wings that could expand,
"I can be like that!", he shouted,
And ate the leaf in his hand.
He tried his best,
He looked real tough,
"No," he sighed,
This will never be enough.
He felt tired one day,
So he took a nap,
Crawled into his pupa,
And shut that little cap.
When he woke up,
Everything was different,
The sun was shining bright outside,
And the air smelled of mint.
He felt something on his back,
It was bright and dark blue,
He had become a butterfly,
His dream had come true!

BUTTERFLY WISHES.
Yesterday a butterfly
Came floating gently through the sky.
He soared up through the atmosphere
Then drifted close enough to hear.
I said, "I'd love to fly with you
And sail around the way you do.
It looks like it would be such fun
To fly up toward the summer sun.
But I have not your graceful charm.
I haven't wings, just these two arms.
I've been designed to walk around.
My human feet must touch the ground.
Then magically he spoke to me
and told me what his wish would be.
He said, "What I'd love most to do
Is walk upon God's Earth with you,
To squish it's mud between my toes
Or touch my finger to my nose.
I'd love just once to walk around
With human feet to touch the ground,
But I have not two legs that swing,
I haven't arms, just these two wings."
And so we went our separate ways
In wonder and surprise.
For we'd both seen God's precious gifts
Through someone else's eyes.

BUTTERFLIES, OH, BUTTERFLIES.
Butterflies, Oh, Butterflies,
Your beauty is so rare.
Butterflies, Oh, butterflies,
How could anyone dare.
to catch you and to hold you
against your solemn will?
They should just admire you
and let you have your fill.
of flitting here and flitting there,
gathering up your daily fare
of nectars from the flowers bright,
from early morning until night.
Butterflies, beautiful butterflies,
with so many colours rare,
it hurts my heart when one dies,
Yet, does anyone truly care?
For butterflies, butterflies,
you represent new birth,
from chrysalis until you die,
you beautify the earth.
thank you, lovely butterflies.

BUTTERFLY IN THE WIND POEM.
A child is........
A butterfly in the wind,
Some can fly higher than others;
but each one flies the best it can.
Why compare one against the other?
Each one is different!
Each one is special!
Each one is beautiful!
~~Author Unknown.~~
OH BUTTERFLY WHERE DO YOU GO?
Oh butterfly where do you go,
When the sunset itself does show?
I see you quite frequently
when the sun shines overhead,
But where are you when I am put to bed?
The days are long,
The sun is strong.
Still then I see you flutter,
With wings as soft as butter.
Yet when shines the moon,
Why am I alone?
I hear not soft wings
beating upon my windowsill,
Nor do I see your pupae
upon the miller's mill.
Where do you go at night
When the stars are shining bright?
In the daytime I see you flutter
'round and 'round,
From the sky to the ground.
Oh butterfly where do you go,
When the sunset itself does show?
~~By Heather Scott.~~
THE BUTTERFLY 2.
The butterfly has so many beautiful features.
Fragile, yet powerful wings adorn these creatures.
They look like angels from the heavens above,
A gift to fill our hearts with warmth and love.
In all their splendor and strife,
They are the symbol or new beginnings and life.
Gliding so delicately on the breeze,
taking but a moment to dance with the leaves.
They stop to rest on a flower or two,
to get one last drink of the morning dew.
To see them fly through the air with
all their pride and glory,
it seems like their life is a fantasy
or a charming story.
If I had one wish of something I could try,
it would be to be free and fly like a butterfly.
~~By Morgan Bretz.~~
SPECIAL BUTTERFLY.
Oh butterfly,
you are so magnificent
as you gently soar
high above the earth
connected only
by gravity's invisible pull.
You bring joy and happiness
to all who know you,
You add beauty to the flowers
and trees where ever you go,
You make the world complete!
You are free,
free to float with the breeze
high above the trees
absorbing the beauty
and wonder of all below.
You are free,
free to land
on a child's outstretched hand,
to trust,
to linger for awhile
and feel the gentle warmness
of the sun on your body.
You are free,
free to excite
the fish below the surface
as you dart left and right,
only inches above a southern pond.
While you soar
on fresh breezes out of sight,
As you explore the mysteries
and wonders of new ponds,
You are in my thoughts and prayers,
you are missed!
~~By James A. Semmens.~~
LEGEND OF THE BUTTERFLY.
Once as a child many years ago...
on a balmy summer's eve.
I sat in the yard at my Mother's side...
and a butterfly lit at my sleeve.
"It's a sign of good luck", my Mother said.
As the butterfly stayed at my arm...
"It's a symbol of all the beauty in life.
Make sure you do it no harm."
First butterflies are eggs and after they hatch...
they see that their life's just beginning.
They're content with their lot in life,
so, they go out on a limb and start spinning.
They stay out awhile in a magic cocoon....
then emerge like flowers in spring.
Then they share the story of their victory and success...
through each of the colors of their wings.
The gold in their wings is the"Golden Rule"...
To follow that is a must.
The blue....That means true blue.
Always be someone people can trust.
The green of the tip of their wing
is saying Stay green, and you'll always grow.
The silver is the lining in the clouds of doubt...
that you must look for as you go through life.
Butterflies bend with the wind, it's true.
Still they get where they want to go.
They arrive by persistence through their own insistence...
A lesson more people should know.
Sought and valued by the whole human race...
For their beauty, tenacity and charm.
If a butterfly ever chances to stay at your sleeve...
remember, my friend, don't fight it, but,
learn all you can from the butterfly clan.
And you too, may become a rare item.

AN INDIAN BUTTERFLY LEGEND.
If anyone desires a wish to come true they must
capture a butterfly and whisper that wish to it.
Since they make no sound, they can't tell the wish
to anyone but the Great Spirit.
So by making the wish and releasing the butterfly
it will be taken to the heavens and be granted.
~~Author Unknown.~~
AN IRISH BLESSING.
May the wings of the butterfly kiss the sun.
And find your shoulder to light on.
To bring you luck, happiness and riches.
Today, tomorrow and beyond.
A BUTTERFLY HOVERS CLOSELY.
A butterfly hovers closely
And then quickly moves away,
Swiftly going wheresoever
Her heart may freely say.
A butterfly lowers and rises
With the wind's gusty breath,
As if coupled within a dance
Of a loving tenderness.
The butterfly only knows
How it feels to have wings,
To kiss the petals of flowers
In such elegant flitterings.
To have but one moment
Of such an esquisite flight,
Would be like a dream
Where all seems so right.
~~Author Unknown.~~
GOSSAMER FLIGHT.
Deep inside the crystal forest
Where many fear to go
Is a place of peace and harmony
Where the springs of eternity flow.
This is where the faeries live
And pass away the hours
Dancing thru the trees,
Playing in the flowers.
Faeries flitting on gossamer wings
Is a common sight
Their wings of rainbow colors
Unfold, quietly taking flight.
Come and take the journey
To find your child within
Open up your heart and mind
And watch the magic begin.
~© 1999 By Christine McClimans aka Corky Ferguson ~
A CHILD IS LIKE A BUTTERFLY.
A Child is like a butterfly in the wind
Some can fly higher than others,
But each one flies the best it can.
Why compare one against the other?
Each one is different.
Each one is special.
Each one is beautiful.
