Butterfly friend, how well do I know you <br />How long will you stay is the question I ask <br />Butterfly friend how well do you know me <br />How long will you love me <br />Do I love you too? <br /> <br />Butterfly friend, there poised in the shadows <br />Which of the blooms gives the scent you prefer? <br />Butterfly friend from flower to flower..... <br />How long will you love me <br />Do I love you too? <br /> <br />You of the beautiful bright coloured wings <br />Take of my sweetness: <br />Soar to the sky <br />Whilst I, on the sidelines, keep track of your flight <br />Take of my sweetness <br />And fly! <br /> <br />Butterfly friend no more in the shadows <br />Free from the flowers now faded and pale <br />Butterfly friend I know that you love me <br />You ask if I love you? <br />You know that I do.<br /><br />Margaret Kollmer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/butterfly-friend/
