For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Not Giving Up…A Poem.
NOT GIVING UP
I see you there, scarred and torn,
Yet still you come, each new morn.
Though wounded much, you stay strong,
Spreading beauty, all day long.
Such wonders there, I do see,
Showing forth, still mightily.
So cheerfully, flying ’round,
Not giving up, you have found
That even though, scarred and torn,
Your beauty shows, each new morn.

The poem is great along with the flowers and butterfly. Love the swallowtail butterfly that we have in the Far North although they are probably smaller than yours.

It might be the same one if it looks the same. Ours is the Canadian Swallowtail, it looks like the well known Eastern Swallowtail but smaller and the Eastern does not come this far north. The Canadian is a true northern butterfly.
Thanks so much! This poor butterfly is really battered, I got a pic of another one earlier that was in good shape.😊😻📷🦋

The life of a butterfly is not easy. Enjoy looking at the butterflies, here that have a short season of life.

Yes, the season would be short up your way.

Yes, the season is short but we have daylight all the time, including the night, so it is delightful now.

The best part of winter is being able to take a vacation to Hawaii or Mexico, where it is warm!
