THE COLORS ARE SO PRETTY AND BRIGHT,
IT'S SO AMAZING,
HOW GOD CAN PRODUCE SOMETHING SO BEAUTIFUL AND RIGHT.
I REMEMEMBER BEING LITTLE AND CHASING THEM WITH NETS AND THINGS,
TRYING TO CATCH A CLOSE GLIMPSE,
AT ALL THE COLORS ON IT'S WINGS.
SEEMED LIKE I WOULD BE BUSY FOR HOURS,
RUNNING OR SKIPPING HERE AND THERE,
CHECKING ALL OF THE FLOWERS.
I WANTED SO BADLY TO HOLD ONE IN MY HAND,
BUT THEY WERE SO QUICK,
WHY I WASN'T FAST ENOUGH, I COULD NEVER UNDERSTAND.
ONE DAY, I FINALLY CAUGHT ONE AND IT BROUGHT ME SUCH JOY,
I NEVER STOPPED TO THINK,
THIS BEAUTY GOD CREATED WAS NO TOY.
I ACCIDENTLY BROKE IT'S PRECIOUS WING AND STARTED TO CRY,
THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO,
BECAUSE OF ME,IT WOULD DIE.
MY MAMMA SAT ME DOWN AND A STORY SHE TOLD,
SHE SAID A BUTTERFLY NEVER LASTED LONG,
IT GOES THROUGH IT'S STAGES OF LIFE AND QUICKLY GROWS OLD.
MY HEART ACHED AS I PUT IT TO REST,
MAMMA KISSED ME ON THE CHEEK,
TOLD ME NOT TO FRET,NOW IT'S HEAVEN'S LITTLE GUEST.
AS I LOOK BACK TO THAT DAY,
I KNOW THERE WAS A PURPOSE,
OR THAT LITTLE BUTTERFLY WOULD HAVE SURELY GOTTEN AWAY.
IT WAS GOD TEACHING ME HOW QUICKLY EVERYTHING CAN SLIP BY,
NOT TO TAKE A DAY FOR GRANTED,
THAT LIFE CAN BE JUST AS FRAGILE AS THE WINGS OF A BUTTERFLY.
