Butterfly

Benjamin Thornton 1984 (United States)

Free verse
Gazing into your beautiful eyes
Makes my soul flutter and fly
Like dew kissed butterflies in the sky
Nearly 2 decades
And the butterflies still play
In the garden of our love
Wonderful hues splashin
Illuminates our passion
My butterfly I feel you still
Remember WOW
After all these years
You still mean so much to me
Happy Birthday beautiful



I LOVE YOU DESIREE THORNTON
