Shoulder to shoulder, wing to wing,
Fairy’s enchantment and butterfly’s allure,
floating upon affection’s breeze,
two flighted beings, by their smiles, entwined,
with freedom’s flow upon fluttering waves.
Ties that bind, a woman’s kin,
each flies, a freedom of their own desire.

The fairy’s gentleness drawn from the forest’s lore,
the butterfly’s beauty released from the drab cocoon,
metamorphosed by love and nature’s trend,
to radiate beauty from the sky above,
till the fairy returns to its mystical lair
and the butterfly fades into the meadow’s perfume.

Two friends together, shoulder to shoulder,
wing to wing, fable to fable,
enchanted under an azure sky.
The fairy and the butterfly, united, as one.
