Awesome Monarch Butterfly

What a hard life the monarch butterfly has and its awesome strength to survive the long migration and lack of habitat so it can fulfill its purpose of reproducing and pollinating.

What an awesome work of art is the majestic monarch butterfly

Thrilling are bold black and orange wings fluttering in the sky

They joyously perform their duty pollinating from flower to flower

So delicate, humble, and vulnerable yet are blessed with vast power

Hard times they have going through the four stages of their short life

From egg to caterpillar that eats all day to a chrysalis full of strife

To become a beauty spreading wings of a new creation

With the plight of a dwindling population.

Autumn brings a mission to put forth a big effort indeed

As they navigate a migration flying southwest at slow speed

To hibernate in mild winter instead of a cold death with no pardon

Springtime urges the mothers-to-be go to find a milkweed garden

To lay her 300 eggs that start a new generation of butterflies

Perhaps this generation will die if all the milkweed dies

How can these pollinators keep the earth like a park

When they keep stealing the habitat from the monarch!
