When you watch the birds and touch the sky,
When you see the moving clouds and the swaying trees,
When you sit by the quiet lake and the fish within,
Did you smile, as I accompany you?

When you learn the language of bees,
When you feel the tickle of plants,
When you hear the sound of rivers,
Did you laugh, when I play with you?

When you chase the dragonflies to my waterfall,
When you pick the flowers from my garden,
When you wash your legs in my pond,
Did you feel happy when I spend time with you?

When you search the green grassy meadows,
When you sight the fanciful forests and mountains,
When you walk the beach and dive the oceans,
Did you travel very far just to look for me?

Hmm… perhaps, did you even know me at all?

Some quotes I like about butterflies, nature and happiness:

“Nature’s message was always there and for us to see. It was written on the wings of butterflies.”

“The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough.”

“Happiness is like a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but, if you will sit down quietly, it may alight upon you.”
