Benny the butterfly: courage, daring, friendship and never giving up

In a garden bright, where the flowers bloom,

Lived Benny the Butterfly, with a spirit that zoomed.

His colors were vivid, a beautiful sight,

But oh, poor Benny had just one wing in flight.

His friends would flutter, so graceful and free,

“Come join us, Benny! Just look at the glee!”

But Benny would sigh, with a heart full of dreams,

“I want to fly high, like the sun’s golden beams.”

Will Benny fulfill his dream and be able to fly?
