Butterfly, flutterby <br />Come to me <br />Take me to Mexico <br />On your delicate wing. <br /> <br />Butterfly, flutterby <br />It is early fall <br />I want to escape from here <br />To you I call. <br /> <br />Butterfly, flutterby <br />Be with me tonight <br />I’ll be ready in a minute <br />Ready for take-off; ready for flight. <br /> <br />Butterfly, flutterby <br />How gorgeous your face <br />Yellow, black, stained-glass wings <br />I see your mysterious smile and dainty grace. <br /> <br />Butterfly, flutterby <br />I’m waiting; I’ll stay <br />Please don’t forget me <br />But look! Now you’re going, going, gone, away. <br /> <br />Butterfly, flutterby <br />How can this be? <br />You said good bye <br />Now what about me? <br /> <br />Butterfly, flutterby <br />You could have come to me <br />Could have taken me to Mexico <br />On your delicate wing. <br /> <br />Butterfly, flutterby <br />This is not the end <br />Return for me next year <br />I will be waiting and watching, again and again.<br /><br />Jennie Scheihing<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/butterfly-wishes/
