Flutter on By

The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough. ~Rabindranath Tagore, Indian poet, composer, and philosopher

Some

People

Believe that

Seeing a blue

Butterfly is a

Sign of good fortune and

Indicates that you’re about

To receive a reward for your

Noble and honorable efforts.

Wouldn’t it be lovely if that were true?

I’m not positive, but I think this is

A red-spotted purple admiral.

Seeing this one’s pretty blue wings

Brought me lots of happiness.

Blue butterflies are rare!

It’s my good fortune,

And I wanted

To share it

With you

Now.
