3rd in the 'Watch Out! 2000' competition

You are beautiful butterfly,
That I would like to catch,
You are the only green clover,
In a dead brown patch.

You are the colourful rainbow,
That peeps out from the cloud,
And brightens up the dark sky,
Like you stand out in the crowd.

You are a beautiful shell,
On a sandy beach,
You are the sparkly star,
Just out of my reach.

You are a piece of gold,
Both pure and fine,
A person just like you,
Is so very hard to find.
