Skipper

Happiness is a butterfly...which if you sit down quietly
 may alight on you.
Nathaniel Hawthorne

Skipper,

Little gray cousin of the monarch

Why so small—so dull?

How did you come to be so plain

So everyday—so dirty dishwater?

Where's your color?

Your pizazz?

God didn't care?

He didn't see 

You needed to be 

Bright orange 

Viridian green 

Cobalt blue 

Banana yellow?

Trust Him 

He had His reasons

And I think you are cute.
