"Butterfly Effect"
by May S. Sittikraisorn

She was a cute little girl,

Chasing around one butterfly she found,

How fascinating she thought.

Asked her mama if she could keep

Mama said, Dear little girl

Butterflies are not meant to be caught

Let them fly, fly high to the blue sky

The butterfly overheard and said,

Dear Lil Girl, Life is short,

Don't waste you times trying to catch me,

'Cos I will fly, fly away from you,

The lil girl smiled and said, “But I like you”

Little times with you is all I'm asking for,

Know I might cry the sooner you fly away

So can I have a little more times with you?

Just a little more times...

Life goes on

"Life goes on"

by May S. Sittikraisorn

The answer is right in front of me.

How could I have not seen?

Felt like a fool, once was a master,

Lesson learned, yet forgot as times went by,

A question WHY repeated numerously,

Nowhere to run and hide,

Drown in the sea of running tears,

Again and again,

The sun was shining,

Found no light but a cold wind.

As days went by,

Visits from my own nightmares,

Heard the voice saying

It’s time to stop,

Memories meant to remember,

Sweet or Bitter,

Like it or not,

Yes life goes on, and so should you.

Look around and tell me what you see?

The answer is laying in you,

Laying in you...
