Butterfly
Butterflies butterflies pretty you see, I love watching the butterflies fly all around me, colors of red blue and even some green I love butterflies as pretty as can be, if I could be a butterfly that would be neat flying high in the air so beautiful and free, what color of butterfly would I want to be, I would want to be an orange butterfly my favorite color you see, flying low to the ground and then way up in the tree’s, I would love to be a butterfly what a wonderful dream, to be a butterfly so wild and free.
