To the Monarch Butterfly
Showing Appreciation for a Beautiful Pollinator
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.
