BUTTERFLY
Come to me o beauty
touch my skin and me smile happily,
flap your wings and let me feel its breeze,
shake your antenna and let me know it's real.
:
Will you stay with me
because you make me dive to check my soul within,
you remind me of who I am
that the creator is here within.
:
Who can explain your beauty?
Who can understand how you catch our attention?
Who can enjoy the sweetness of nectars.
just like you do with wonders
:
I love to learn of you,
to know I have a bright future like you did
when you were a caterpillar
you still held on to life.
:
I have learn through you
that life is wavy
but who ever wish to be happy will be forever be happy.

Akintayo Akinjide (Divepen).


Written for
11month old Scarlett Johnston, who is seriously ill.

Wonderful bro, but take note of punctuations and endeavor to start every word of each stanza with block letter except if for enjambment. You should have maintain quatrain to make the poem flow like a river. In the second stanza, i think the first three lines suppose to be an enjambment and rhetorical question or a question. I love the language you use, so simple for a lay reader to understand. I salute you for your dexterity.
