My Garden - A Poem




 I own a garden, it isn't a pretty one... I barely ever took care of it, it was nothing special to me

But one day a butterfly came, it was the most beautiful butterfly I've ever seen

The butterfly loved that garden and stayed there making me company for years and years

But I made a mistake, I took my little butterfly for granted and forgot to take care of it

My butterfly flew away from my garden, never to be seen or heard from again

And ever since, I've been taking care of my garden, while I wait for my butterfly to come back

They say that by improving my garden, all the butterflies will want to come to it

But I do not care for that... for my own butterfly is still out there and I still wait for it

I might build the most beautiful garden. But no butterfly is allowed to step in

I've taken care of every flower, every root, making sure I never make the same mistake

And now I just pray and wait, day after day

That my butterfly will one day come back again
