The Butterfly
A butterfly goes from flower to flower,
Giving as well as receiving.
When it rains lightly,
It continues on its journey.
When the downpour comes,
It stops and rests,
Waiting for the sun to return.
Then it continues on its way,
Going through rainbow after rainbow,
Delighting in being a butterfly.
