Butterfly

Butterfly

If I had to choose another life
One vastly different than my present state
I would hesitate not one bit
To pick a metamorphosis fate.

I would emerge as a beautiful butterfly
With colors so bright and true,
A floating, dreamy butterfly
Of red, orange, yellow and blue

With spread out wings I'd flutter about
Flying 'round to and fro
Then lazily stopping to take a rest
Upon a blooming flower below.

Then darting away
Through the sun's golden shower,
Only to gently flutter back
And land again on the very same flower.

Given another choice for my simple fate
I would stay with my butterfly wings
Repeating my journey again and again
While the joy of my happy heart sings.

This song I would give to my Creator
So happy to repeat this sweet fate.
'Till once again
I pass through Heaven's Gate.
