When You Were Five

Set down for a little while butterfly

Rest here and remember when you were five

When you settled on the flowers like your life depended

On the beauty of the blooms more than the death around them

The garden's full of glory,

Go and find it

Butterfly

Set down for a little while, butterfly

Rest here for a little while, have a cry

Over everything you lost when the summer ended

Over how the colors grayed when the sun pretended

The things you love are not yet

Whole and mended

Butterfly
