Butterfly Love
Before you are carried away
With leaves that come tumbling down,
Before you succumb
To the crumbling of the hour,
I will give you a love
Like no other love you have known.
For that which can never be stolen,
Time will devour.
We measure our love by the lifetime
A thimbleful only of sky.
To the mountains, and oceans, and stars
Just a moment that passes by.
Time brings a death to each season
We think that to measure, we're clever.
It follows no rhyme or reason,
While love embraces forever.
A butterfly lives but a moment
Yet it knows that love grows within,
It turns moments of life into hours
Through the love it reveals on its skin
So love with the love that each butterfly brings
For a lifetime, a moment, or hour
And live to reveal the song your love sings
Like the butterfly, kisses the flower.
