FLUTTERING FLOWERS

TO THE POET, BUTTERFLIES ARE AS FLUTTERING FLOWERS,

THAT FLUTTER IN THE WIND AND FLOAT UPON THE BREEZE.

FLUTTERING FLOWERS OF THE RICHEST COLORS AND HUES,

FROM THE PALEST WHITES TO THE MOST ELECTRIC BLUES.

THEY ARE A LOVELY SYMBOL OF THE CHRISTIAN, YOU SEE?

WHEN THEY BREAK FORTH FROM THE CHRYSALIS, IT IS AS

THE NEW BIRTH IN CHRISTIANITY.

THEY ARE GENTLE, BEAUTIFUL AND SO LOVELY TO BEHOLD,

JUST AS THE CHRISTIAN IS INSIDE, MORE LOVELY THAN PURE GOLD.

THE FLUTTERING FLOWERS COME IN ALL OF NATURE'S HUES,

THE PICTURES THAT I SEE OF THEM CHASE AWAY THE BLUES.

THEIR BEAUTY IS SO BREATH-TAKING, YOU CAN WHILE

AWAY THE HOURS

JUST WATCHING THE ACTIVITIES OF ALL THE FLUTTERING

FLOWERS.

THEY DANCE AND SWAY UPON EACH SMALL BREEZE,

THEY DRINK FROM NATURE'S CUPS

OF NECTAR FOR THEM ALONE,

ESPECIALLY FROM THE BUTTERCUP.

THE BUTTERFLY BUSH IN MY GARDEN GROWS

FOR THEM, AND THEM ALONE,

THEY GO TO EACH LITTLE FLOWER BOWL

FOR THEY KNOW THIS IS THEIR HOME.

FLUTTERING FLOWERS, OH, SO BRIGHT,

YOUR COLORS LIGHT OUR WAY,

BECAUSE JESUS DIED AND THEN AROSE,

SO WE COULD BE WITH HIM ONE DAY.
