Butterfly


Touching a butterfly’s wings with dirty hands will damage its wings until they dry 

 

You get mad because the butterfly won’t fly away and wobbles next to you unable to do more 

 

But when the butterfly’s wings dry and they fly away you sulk at the fact that the butterfly didn’t stay
