Yesterday A Butterfly

Yesterday A Butterfly

 Came floating gently through the sky.
He soared up through the atmosphere
Then drifted close enough to hear...

I said, I’d love to fly with you
And sail around the way you do.
 It looks like it would be such fun
 To fly up toward the summer sun...

 But I have not your graceful charm.
 I haven’t wings, just these two arms.
 I’ve been designed to walk around.
 My human feet must touch the ground...
 
 Then magically he spoke to me
 and told me what his wish would be...
 
 He said, What I’d love most to do
 Is walk upon God’s Earth with you,
 To squish it’s mud between my toes
 Or touch my finger to my nose...

I’d love just once to walk around
 With human feet to touch the ground,
 But I have not two legs that swing,
 I haven’t arms, just these two wings...
 
 And so we went our separate ways
 In wonder and surprise.
For we’d both seen God’s precious gifts
Through someone else’s eyes...
