Red Admiral Butterfly

Dear Red Admiral butterfly,

Emerged from your cocoon,

Enjoy the violet flowers,

And the light of midday noon,

Enjoy the leaves of vibrant green,

Take flight and fly away,

And see the world from high above,

Beyond what is today,

Dear Red Admiral butterfly,

Enjoy the nectar sweet,

For no more is there heavy weight,

Like caterpillars eat,

No more do you crawl on the ground,

You're light as summer's breeze,

Enjoy the flying light as wind,

And live with grace and ease.

-Pamela Storch
