Butterfly

Watching the horizon
during the late afternoon
enjoying the wonderful breeze
under the old maple trees

as i await the end of light
i saw a wonderful sight
a butterfly emerges from its cocoon
as the sun was setting soon

little butterfly
you fly so free
come to me
don't leave me lonely

beautiful little butterfly
radiant in purple
you are just so cute
and so lovable

gentle little butterfly
i've been lonely for too long
where are you from
please sing me a song

tender little butterfly
dear precious thing
please bring the day of spring
i want to see the flowers blooming

little butterfly
look at the children
look at the smiles you bring
when you lift your wings and sing

Thank you little butterfly
for keeping me company
now fly to the sky
and be free
