Unexpected Visit

Have you ever seen a butterfly
At the beach
Well neither had I until today!
I stood at the waters edge
Amazed to see
Fluttering before my face
Almost close enough to touch
This lovely butterfly
Orange in color, outlined with
Black at the edges of its wings
Sometimes I truly am bewildered
By unexpected visits from this
Symbol of eternity.

A butterfly vacationed
down at the sea,
It danced o'er the waves
and beckoned to me,
Come skip through the water,
come frolic in the spray,
So I danced on the beach
with a butterfly today.

Pauline, you might want to trip by my poetry sight and see what I did with it -- I am certain that's how Goldennib (Nessa) got here.
