People have asked me to write something sunny,
light-hearted and airy perhaps even funny.
Sometimes I try but often find strife,
in dealing with people I encounter in life.

But who can find evil in God's butterfly,
Flitting and fluttering around in the sky,
Dancing and darting in kaleidoscope hues?
If one can find evil to me it is news.

If our lord God, he breathed into me,
life for a moment only you see,
and he were to show me his sweet butterfly,
I would have lived life and could peacefully die.
