Today i saw a butterfly with orange wing and black trim
It circled through the air learning to fly and it did sway and swim
I watched it alight on a daffodil a bright yellow daffodil
I smiled wide
cause now i could see it closer and see the flower from inside
Today i saw a caterpillar large and fuzzy and green
He was the largest fattest caterpillar i think i've ever seen
I watched him crawl across the leaf and even take a bite
I watched him closely staring at each little part in sight
Today i saw a blue jay fly into his nest and sit
I got too close and he squawked at me
My gosh he threw a fit
His feathers got all ruffled cuz he thought i'd got too near
I was so close that i could see the wax growing in his ear
Today I saw a gray and white bunny
A baby 2 weeks new!
His toes were small and his eyes were pink or just a pinkish hue
I got so close that i could see his teeth were chewing grass
i got caught up in the setting there lost in a field of green grass
Butterfly, caterpillar, blue jay and rabbit
Seeing them daily could become a delightful habit
All these things I saw today were only in my mind's eye
I saw them yes I swear I did
To you I will not lie
I cannot tell you how near to me
Or my God how pretty
I didn't see them 'Alive' because
I live in a concrete city
Perpetual misery
When nature is far away
Perpetual sorrow
Every single day
