​

There was once a little butterfly that thought she

Knew best.  So out into the world she flew

To experience a few harsh test.

For a time there she forgot the lessons that were

Taught by her mother owl.

Every time she was given an inch

she wanted to take a mile.

You see butterfly forgot the time when she was in

Cocoon.  How mother owl watched

over her, protected.

Her, and  sometimes, brightened

her day when she was in gloom.

 

How mother owl tried to warn her

about the dangers

And the joys of the world.  How boys or men don’t

Always cherish little girls.  How when growing into

Womanhood all some boys want is

your goodie good.

These are the things little

butterfly never understood.

So what more is there to say,

she was left to learn her lessons the hard way.

 

After many heart aches and lessons learned;

back to Mother owl she returned. 

This she found was an

opportunity to regain her mother’s trust

taking care of her mother, as she aged,

had become a must.

 

But, one day butterfly now owl herself,

flew to a home too far away.

 Mother owl asked her to return

home almost everyday. 

But, ultimately butterfly knew that this

was where mother owl wanted her to be

Stable and free,

Standing strong on her own and butterfly knew that mother Owl really wanted to live alone.

 

Mother owl soon found a new home way above the

Stars too far to see.

Mother owl is finally flying free.
