I was walking yesterday…
I watched a butterfly
Spin and turn and dance-
As free as anything can be-
And I wondered,
Why not me?

I was walking yesterday
Through the forest
Behind my house.
But my home is
Somewhere else. Can you
Take me back?

I watched my life-
A butterfly-
Fly away;
And realized why it’s called a
Flutter-by.
