This week's bonus Rough Cuts are two more of my poems for children, one a playful celebration of spring, and the other a sweet expression of love.

A butterfly
is but a shy
flower who dared to dream,
turning petals to wings
in the middle of spring
to dance upon a breeze.

I love you when you're quiet,
and when you laugh out loud.
I love that you're happy alone
and when you're in a crowd.
I love that you are thoughtful
in all you do and say.
I love everything about you, dear,
and I love you more each day.
