THE BUTTERFLY

A butterfly spread Her wings to fly But closed them up Because of a lie She was told that her colors were bland They weren’t pretty She had the colors of a man Someone else told her to Spread her wings and fly So, she took off flying way up high someone shouted what a beautiful sight her colors are filled with beauty and light She flew around with Such beauty and grace Then told those haters To stay out of her face

Dear Daisy, I adore the triumph of the butterfly. Soaring above the "haters" her wings filled with "beauty and light" flying with "beauty and grace" is the ultimate revenge for those "haters" grounded in the slime and muck. Beautiful, emotional, uplifting poetry. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

Ha! Yeah, stay away. Far away. Easier said than done as haters have a way of making their presence known. Best to ignore and enjoy the love of the kind hearted
