THE BUTTERFLY

We can learn so much from nature...
from the sand
the sea
the sky...
Every organism can be our teacher
Take, perchance, the butterfly.

True, they are fragile creatures...
their wings are delicate and thin...
but they add color to the universe
and they can ride upon the wind.

Butterflies share the flowers.
All are rich,
no one is poor,
and you never see a butterfly with a weapon
or marching off to war.

They live a life that’s innocent and free,
they cause no pain or grief
For they know their time is precious...
their moment on Earth is brief.

Perhaps if we listened to their teachings
and their lessons we’d apply
Then we would live in peace and beauty

just like the butterfly.
