MY YOUNGEST DAUGHTER'S POEM

I wanted to share this poem that my 12-year-old daugher wrote.  She has been getting out in the garden with me and is enjoying it very much!  She also has her own camera and has been enjoying taking her own pictures, including the one below.  She especially enjoys seeing the butterflies fluttering around in the garden, which inspired her to write this poem:


THE BUTTERFLY

The Butterfly -
Fragile and light, but yet mighty and charming.
Filled with beauty on the inside and out.
They soar through the air majestically and gently land on a flower.
They effortlessly indulge the nectar, and delightfully soak up the sunshine.
You grin when you see them, and they secretly smile back.
They make everyone joyful, as they show their exquisite colors.
They display their extraordinary patterns, flaunting there elegance.
So unique and so flawless, flourescent and luminous. 
So many words can describe a butterfly, elegant, unique, charming, and equisite; but I'm just going to say BEAUTIFUL!
