Small Pleasures You found my secret place My tranquil hiding space, Wafting on springs sweet air You found me resting here. I'm delighted you came to be In the very same place as me, While I was not lonely at all I'm pleased you came to call. Your beauty is simply divine It blends with peace of mind, Your elegant nimble grace Brings a smile to my face. My garden of fragrant flowers Bid you spend pleasant hours, Please linger the day through, We enjoy the presence of you. You deftly flutter from lilac to rose Then repose on a bloom you chose, Drink deep of it's nectar pretty one I relish your beauty in morning sun. I think I shall never again see A butterfly prettier than thee, I see your brilliant bright wings As rainbow colors of spring. I thank you for taking the time To grace this garden of mine, Thank you for the splendid display Before you quickly flutter away. ©Written by: Kenneth J.
