Ode to Dog and Butterfly

The joy of watching a butterfly fly…
Brings up the question of why…
Do we not see there’s freedom in flight…
Till we lay our heads on our pillows at night…
We see it when in our dream-laden slumber…
We forget when our problems all seem to number…
When the butterfly do we see…
We remember what it is to be free…
We need reminders in our waking hours…
When our lives begin to sour…
Our minds are small and immune to new things…
Except the trivial and the torment it brings…
When the dog sees the insect float…
And the hair stands up on his shiny coat…
He wants to play and chase it so…
He runs and jumps to and fro…
He loses it when it turns to the sky…
He barks and jumps and oh does he try…
But when it’s out of his canine grip…
His mind on more fun starts to slip…
Why can’t we have the mind of a beagle…
Who’s loyal and loving and thinks so regal…
They have no care or concern of issues…
Dog and Butterfly, Poet and Muse…
“Dog and Butterfly…”
“Up in the air the air he likes to fly…”
Ann and Nancy Couldn’t have done it any other way…
"Dog and Butterfly" - Heart

Bill, You did an absolute fantastic job on this piece. When Ann sings that song it can produce a goose-pimply feeling. *smiles* (and I had to go and listen to it of course) What a wonderful write, with such a carefree feel.
Much peace,
Laura |
