On a cold January morning 
lying there ever so still
I found this beautiful butterfly
on my bedroom window sill  

Confused as what I should do with her
I looked to my online guide
It said try to keep her cool and calm
before placing her outside  

I trapped her inside a trinket box
a temporary safe place
Then carefully carried her outside 
and put her in a cool, dark space 

I hope my actions helped in some way
and my butterfly survives
I hope she now sleeps all through winter
till the warmth of spring arrives
