WHAT THE BUTTERFLY SAYS.

Reading edition

Through all the sunny summer days I wander here and there, And hardly ever stop to rest A moment anywhere. There are so many things to see, And time is rather short with me. I only have a month or two, And time soon runs away When one is seeing something new, Or sporting every day. And how the little people try To catch me as I flutter by! But I know what they want me for— It's not to use me right; It's not to give me sunny fields, With daisies sprinkled white; But just to pin me on the wall To show their friends, and that is all.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
