Wings Of a Butterfly(revised)
I saw a butterfly on a flower flapping colorful wings.
I reached my hand out to grab the wings but it flew away.
I could wander faraway while chasing this.
And feel as free as the butterfly.
Because it is so hard to catch it
Moving away and reaching so high.
I just wanted to hold it in my hand
And see the beautiful colors.
Even if I caught the butterfly in my hand
I have to let it go.
So I did not wander far and I did not try to catch the butterfly
I just let it fly away
