Better Fly, Butterfly

Better Fly, Butterfly, now is the time.
Your wings are closed
so no one knows
the vibrant colors you hide.

Better Fly, Butterfly, now is the time.
Waiting's a net;
don't let it get
you caught up inside.

Better Fly, Butterfly, now is the time.
To spread your wings
and do all those things
you've never even tried.

Better Fly, Butterfly, now is the time.
Or else you may
find that "someday"
somehow, just never arrived.
