It only takes a moment
to watch a butterfly
glide graceful on gossamer wings
across the blue of sky.
But oh the sheer enjoyment
that such a moment brings.
Its beauty lifts my spirits high
all day my glad heart sings.
It only takes a moment
to give a friendly smile.
to pay a lovely compliment
or share a thought worthwhile.
Yet little acts of kindness
can cheer some soul along
and plant within a lonely heart
a joyous vibrant song.
