I am a butterfly
Know that I like
Flying among colorful flowers
But now, I won’t do like this
I offer to you…My lord.
I am a butterfly,
Know that I like
Using the nectars of flowers
But now, I won’t do
The offering is for you … My everlasting God.
I am a butterfly,
Know that I can be
A pretty lover of nature,
But, I won’t
Everything is for you… My King.
I am a daring butterfly,
I will be able to pass over
All temptations,
I want just not me but others
To see your face
In your eternal garden,
Let me be yours.
