Pretty Little Polka Dot Butterfly

Dedicated to a brilliant and very talented little lady:
Miss Aastha Modi, from New Delhi, India.

I was hurriedly walking down the street
My brow sweaty from the summer heat
Lo and behold, there came out of the blue
(Really it seemed almost too good to be true)
An enchanting creature I’d never before seen:
A polka dot butterfly - it’s spots black and green!

Of course, I stopped right in my tracks
My jaw instantly dropped quite slack
Watching it’s fluttering, flittering, fluid flight
Wondering at this incredible, inspiring sight
And the question that was foremost in my thoughts:
How could a butterfly have green and black spots?

Alas I’d forgotten that I was in a hurry
Gone was the memory of my hustle, bustle and scurry
In those few moments the butterfly danced around
I felt so light I thought my feet left the ground
The Creator must have the most ingenious mind of all
To put so much beauty and grace in a creature so small

Well, all things that begin, must come to an end
Including those precious moments with my little ‘friend’
As I watched it soar higher and higher in the sky
I admit, I was quite tempted to wave goodbye
I’ll tell you one thing though; believe me, I tell you no lie
I’ll never forget that pretty little green and black polka dot butterfly!
