The Butterfly

Down in my garden as I was
Admiring my flowers and plants
I saw her....
Saw the butterfly dance

I watched with amazement
As she flew by past by me
I couldn't believe my eyes
When I saw her winking at me

I rubbed my eyes
Was it true what I saw
Or was it make believe
And nothing more

She flew closer to me
And whispered to my ear
Come let me show you
Look over here

I followed her to the rose bush
There I saw more
Saw lots of little butterflies
All in colours galore

I sat on the ground
And watched them dance
There were so many
Doing the butterfly romance

I laid myself down
Looking at them and smiled
I then closed my eyes
And dreamed for a while

Then I felt something
Cold and wet on my face
I quickly opened my eyes
My dog Rambo
Was licking my face

I turned to the rosebush
It wasn't like before
The butterflies were all gone
They weren't there any more
