It was a rainy day here in Phoenix
recently and I decided to do what I always do…..Let it rain! But, as I’m
watching the rain, the phrase “going with the flow” came into my mind. Alas,
the title for a poem!
I wrote this poem on that rainy day.
The photos were found on the internet. Kudos to the photographers that catch these images “au natural”. The eagle certainly goes where it wants to go. Taking directions from no one: it is an American icon.

**************
A butterfly bobs thru the air
with ease
Sailing
merrily along on a gentle breeze
It’s much easier, don’t you know
When you’re going with the flow
An
eagle soars majestically in the skies
It’s much easier, don’t you know
When you’re going with the flow
A salmon swims upstream, her eggs to lay
Driven by instinct, its nature’s way
It would be much easier, don’t you know
If she could have “gone with the flow”
Life’s struggles can be a real pain
And it’s harder to go against the grain
It’s much easier, don’t you know
When you’re going with the flow
So whatever life dishes up on your plate
No need to complain, fuss or get irate
Smile! Because now you already know
You’re sure to be going with the flow
In a life hereafter when they’ve closed the books
Totaled the score, at which now, your Creator looks
There’ll be a wink and a smile! Let the record show
You made it through life, going with the flow!

Stuff:
The butterfly mentioned
in the first stanza is certainly a unique insect! There are literally hundreds
of different species. I found this Glass Winged Butterfly to be one of the most
unique; however, the coloring on others is truly amazing. Well worth a Google
search of butterfly photos.
The life cycle of the butterfly from cocoon to the final
winged insect is also quite interesting. Truly a miracle of nature!
