Butterfly

I am a little butterfly,
with colours of the sky,
I flit from tree to tree,
To keep myself alive.

My mum says I must be aware
of snakes and lizards
everywhere
But because I am so small
I could make myself invisible to all,
by hiding amongst the flowers
For hours and hours
and hours.

I wish I had a friend
who'll flit just like me
From tree to tree
Drinking honey just for free

I love being a butterfly
I love being free
like the little honey bee
Freely buzzing in the breeze!
