My dear butterfly
Please don't try to fly
No! not this moment in time
Your feathers are still soaked
So stay a bit in my hand
Till your feathers get dry

My dear butterfly
You didn't hear me right
You jumped onto the wet floor….

See ! You still can't fly

I will catch you once again
But not to hurt you!
Please wait and listen
At least until the rain stops falling

My dear butterfly
Why did you fly away from me ?
See, You fell down once again

I want to catch you again
Please stop hurting yourself
But I see you try so hard
Move your broken feathers
Do you still want to fly ?
I wish I could hear you
Then I might have a chance
To bring you where ever you want to go

My dear butterfly
I think I will leave you alone

But Now !

I see the weather out there
Hard Rain! Hard Wind !
And I wonder
Whether you are all right
Or are you still alive !
