A beautiful butterfly
Flies down by me.
A tiny angel telling
Me everything will all
Be okay.
I know this because
God loves me and is
Always protecting my
Heart and soul. I pray
For my family
For all the animals,
And for all Gods children,
Good and Bad, that they
May always feel his
Love and know the
Sacrifice his son
Jesus ,Made for us .
He died for our sins

It was blue like the sky, like the ocean, like your eyes
You might not have remembered then, but I know you remember now.
We saw it for a second time, at the little park just down the street
A few years later, you were swinging high, pumping your...
I wrote letters
And sent them to you.
Our letters had butterflies
In the corners.
An example of how beautiful

In different forms
And I smile
Knowing you still watch over me.
Love you elli....

I am a butterfly
See me fly
My delicate wings
Flapping
I am a butterfly
Canât catch me
Arenât I clever?
Are you playing?
I am a butterfly
Set me free
My fractured wings are
Still
I am a butterfly
Why did you trap me?
When I did nothing.
Nothing at all....
I walk up slowly my eyes alight, my stomach twisting at the sight
Her hair falls down in gentle waves, her eyes could light the sky for days
Her smiles nice soft and sweet, sheâs often happy and upbeat
As i walk up to the scary the sight, the butterflies inside me begin to take flight
They flutter they fly, i desperately want to cry
They twist they turn, my unsaid words begin to burn
Theyâ...
Butterflies that follow me wherever
I go
Butterflies that stay with me
Never leave
Thatâs more than I can say
About a lot of people
Butterflies
With their beautiful wings
Purple
And blue
White
And black
Butterflies that love me
That donât fly out the
Open window
Butterflies that care
Butterflies that stay...
