Butterfly Kisses

A butterfly floating gently through the sky

He swirled and swooped so very high

Then drifted close with sounds so soft

I stood so still, I dared not cough

I wished that I could fly with him

Just touch the sky or sit upon a tree limb

But then magically he spoke to me

He told me what his wish would be

To just walk around

With human feet to touch the ground

And squish the earth between his toes

Or touch his finger to his nose

We knew our wishes would not come true

So we sat and dreamed until he flew

But as he bade me a goodbye

A kiss I received from this magical butterfly
