Butterflies Don'T Care

This morning the butterflies left my kitchen curtains upon a morning breeze they fluttered away through the open window laughing as they flew I followed with a net but off they scampered over the neighbour's hedge and into the sunshine Returning to my kitchen, I could hear their titterings, their mockings at their new found freedom but I was left alone thinking how much those curtains had cost me at Woolworth's and that I probably could never find another pair like them.. but butterflies don't care..

Oh Valerie...don't know why this poem just captured my mind....absolutely loved this simple pondering !! I pictured (maybe I'm wrong)...butterflies of the fine fabric..had faded away in the sunshine...as if they were alive, and able to leave those old curtains behind....irreplaceable Woolworth curtains. Lovely....:)
