LUCKY

Luck is a butterfly darting all about,
Gets your hopes up, then goes another route.
Flies this way and that, destination never clear,
Puts off your dreams year after year.
Waiting and wishing, lucky you should be,
Been a long time, will he ever land on me?

Anger's cold wind keeps butterflies away.
Envy is a rain, at home they will stay.
Hatred's barren winter has no life to be found.
Fear is a tomb where there is no sound.
Greed smells of skunk, away he will steer,
Conceit a bitter pollen, you'll wait another year.

Hope is a seed left in the ground to sow.
Love is the sunlight seedlings need to grow.
Wisdom the nutrients, your garden it will feed.
Water the hard work needed to succeed.
Modesty the air, fills a butterfly's wings,
Forgivness our song, his attention brings.

Compassion is your flower, beauty he will see.
Generosity the nectar, a taste fills him with glee
Butterflies will land when conditions are right
Luck can abound in a future that's bright
There's a bigger reward to those my words enthrall,
To stumble onto happiness requires no luck at all.
