Fluttering all around 
My stress flies away with my butterfly 
It reminds me to continue to try 
I continue to soar and fly 
Purple, pink, or blue 
Not sure what to do 
Beautiful and true 
Greatness shining down on me 
When it’s near 
Wiping away every single tear 
People sometimes may not be kind 
But my butterfly  
Continues to remind me to try 
Dear Butterfly, 
Watch me soar and fly 
I promise I’ll try
