Free to be… A butterfly Sunning on wildflowers A memory they’ll keep Even on a day with showers ~ A cardinal With a welcoming chirp Feathers, bright and red Will make smiles return again ~ A shiny copper penny That appears when least expected Soon they’ll have a jar Filled with pennies they’ve collected… Read More Free to Be…
