Oh lady bug, you've done a good deed. <br />Setting your table on the butterfly weed, <br />You're the custodian of all you survey, <br />On butterfly weed, till the end of the day. <br /> <br />Oh beautiful monarch, where do you feed, <br />I see you too love the butterfly weed. <br />You and the ladybug would be poor indeed, <br />If it was'nt for the butterfly weed. <br /> <br />Oh hummingbird whose throat seems to bleed, <br />What do you here on the butterfly weed? <br />All hummingbirds, good advice heed, <br />We love the orange butterfly weed. <br /> <br />God's smallest creatures, go by one creed, <br />To congregate on the butterfly weed. <br />Let the south wind blow, and spread your seed, <br />So that there will be millions of the butterfly weed. <br /> <br />5/31/03 Alton Texas<br /><br />Juan Olivarez<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-butterfly-weed/
