My daughter loves this poem. She doesn't understand the Spanish words, but she does understand the simplicity of its rhythm and intonation.
With it nearly a week since MH17 was shot down in cold blood, I dedicate this poem to the 298 souls lost onboard.
In spite of the butterfly's everlasting beauty, it flew too close, disappearing forever....
Cherish who you have.

A Child's Poem:
Mariposa (Butterfly)
by Federico García Lorca
by Federico García Lorca
Mariposa del aire,
qué hermosa eres,
mariposa del aire
dorada y verde.
qué hermosa eres,
mariposa del aire
dorada y verde.
Luz del candil,
mariposa del aire,
¡quédate ahí, ahí, ahí!
No te quieres parar,
pararte no quieres.
Mariposa del aire
dorada y verde.
Luz de candil,
mariposa del aire,
¡quédate ahí, ahí, ahí!.
¡Quédate ahí!
Mariposa, ¿estás ahí?
