To the Monarch Butterfly

Showing Appreciation for a Beautiful Pollinator

By Jessica DumasPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

One of the most awesome creations is the monarch butterfly

It's such a thrill to watch those beautiful wings fluttering in the sky

Zealously they perform their mission of pollinating from flower to flower

What a time they must have going through the stages of their short life

Being pursued or killed by predators and poisoned brings such strife

They have been blessed with instinct giving them strength to fly farther

As they earnestly seek sweet nectar while taking pollen to another

Autumn monarchs have a mission to put forth a big effort indeed

Following their ancestors' path south up to 2,000 miles at top speed

Sleeping through mild winter instead of a freezing death with no pardon

When they wake let's pray that the females make it to a milkweed garden

To place precious eggs that will grow into another monarch generation

Again to go through their four stages designed but not by evolution

Continuing the cycle of trying to keep our ecosystem like a park

Let's give thanks, for where would we be without the monarch.
