Little Butterfly

Little Butterfly

---

Little butterfly, 

Don’t go away 

Stay. Enjoy all the flowers you have left to see,

All the blue skies you have left to fly. 

Little butterfly, 

Please don’t leave, 

Please not yet. 

I promise Little Butterfly, 

This storm will end 

Soon you will fly without fear again 

Please stay, a little longer. There’s so much more to explore. 

Little Butterfly, I promise, you’ll see. 

Just don’t go, not yet. 

-H.M. Jackson
