A butterfly sits br On a feathery flower tip. br A sparrow sits br On a slender twig tip. br An eagle sits br On a sturdy treetop. br br Each one knows br Its own weight, br A seat it selects, br Knowing its limit, br And up it flies, br To its chosen height. br br His own limits, br A man knows not. br Too much he wants, br More than his limit. br It's where he suffers, br Life long, quite a lot.
