"Are butterflies extinct?"

As I sat alone near the window
watching the drizzling sky
enjoying nature's gift,
counting my blessings;
that I could enjoy the rain,
beautiful landscapes,
fresh mudflavoured air........
My daughter came with a question;
Mama have you seen a dinosaurus?
I said "no...it's extinct"
She asked "are butterflies extinct?
I have not seen them.....mama....
I was wordless........
I could give the next generation only the butterfly less world............
Somewhere I'm also responsible for that.....
Are we not?
