Wing Dust

Everywhere the butterfly

goes she leaves some of the

dust from her wings.

Even when she is still,

this wing dust blows in

the breeze and drops

wherever she has settled.

The butterfly's mere presence

gladdens the heart because

of her beauty.

As she flits from flower to

flower she gives life.

Life is more beautiful because

of the  beauty of the butterfly.

A smile is like a butterfly,

similar in shape,

and every smile that is witnessed

has an influence of others.

The smiles' mere presence

gladdens the heart because

of its beauty.

As the smile flits from face

to face it gives life.

Life is more beautiful because

of the beauty of the smile.

The butterfly leaves Wing Dust

behind her, as a gift.

It takes her little effort but she

shares the powder from

her wings with all who

come within her influence.

She gives so little, but gets so

much in return.

This is the power of Wing Dust.

We can leave smiles behind us

as a gift.

It takes us so little effort

but we can share

our smiles with all who come

within our influence.

We give so little but receive

so much in return.

This is the power of Wing Dust. 

When you feel the power of Wing Dust,

take care of it, treasure it, and act on it.

Pass it on, and smile.

Throw its power to the breeze.

Leave it trailing behind you.

Look back and try to see

where it has gone,

but don't dwell on it.

For while you are looking back

you are missing the present,

and you might just miss the Wing Dust

awaiting your future.

Feel the power of Wing Dust.
