Little Girls
And Butterflies
In
a wide open lush emerald green meadow,
lavishly decorated with,
bright amber golden sunny black eyed Susans.
A small group of free spirited little girls
joyfully laugh,
as they playfully jump and dart about.
Intrigued, my eyes drink in a delightful sight.
Whole heartedly they chase and try to catch
butterflies.
The butterflies with their silken wings,
gracefully silently flutter.
Timidly they hover just out of the girls tip
toed reach.
Tempting and teasing.
All the while jubilant repetitions of little
girls laughter,
echoes throughout the meadow.
By dodging and reversion the butterflies make
their get away.
Reluctant to become a prized treasure.
Defeated and energy dwindled the girls
surrender.
Off they head across the meadow still laughing
and giggling.
With happiness and joy flooding my heart,
a smile creeps upon my face and I think to
myself,
Little Girls And Butterflies.
