THE BUTTERFLY
I swear, it looked me
Straight in the eye...
But it fluttered wildly
And I wondered why.
In the very smallest voice
It seemed to say
"Yes, you ...
Don't go away!"
I was frozen to the spot
As it brushed my cheek;
My eyes crossed,
My knees went weak.
"I'm an angel..."
And then it dived
And dipped
Then cried ....
"They're watching you,
From heaven above ...
I'm here to tell you
Of their love."
I felt so warm,
A special light.
Then so suddenly
It took flight!
I could hear
My own heart sing!
For my angel
In training wings!
Just remember
When one flutters by ...
It's telling you
Rejoice, don't cry.
Lost ones are in your heart,
And when you pray,
A butterfly comes down
To wipe tears away.
Stay very still,
Don't move away.
A butterfly
Will come someday.

For those who sorrow,
It's not good-bye,
For God will send
A butterfly!
