Beware of the butterflies <br />for they may sting <br />They may appear beautiful <br />but have poison-tipped wings <br /> <br />Beware of the butterfly <br />sitting quietly on the deck <br />it may appear at peace <br />but hasn't found it's target yet <br /> <br />Beware of the butterflies <br />so tantalyzing and free <br />They seem to mean no harm <br />but their frivolity harms me <br /> <br />Beware of the butterfly <br />because beauty can be misleading <br />it can ensnare the senses <br />till all my senses vanish completely <br /> <br />Beware of the butterfly <br />before it's too late to hear my cry <br />for I was once a child <br />now I long to fly away to the sky <br />just like a beautiful butterfly<br /><br />Caroline Guedes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/beware-of-the-butterflies/
