Love Is Like A Butterfly

You flew into my life with elegance and charm.
On the wings of a butterfly how soothing, how warm.
You showered me with happiness, love, how appealing,
I knew in my heart...this was it...what a feeling.
You opened my eyes like a butterfly unfolding.
Love was inside, it was forming and holding.

Then it happened....that day...not only broke but it shattered
You were gone. I was lost. It really did matter.
You left me alone, my anger in danger.
That butterfly was now to me just a stranger.
The tears and the sorrow were gone fast in flight
Its beauty, how splendid, flew out of my sight.

My slogan in life...take one day at a time.
The feelings and hurt will go away, I’ll be fine.
I’m sure of one thing, I will move on and succeed,
Like a butterfly, truly magnificent, colorful, splendid indeed.
Don’t fret, fall inside, close up or dismay.
Remember love is like a butterfly, it can fly away.

?Butterfly

If you see a butterfly fluttering gently by
It wants to be with you but is a little shy
Gaze at its glorious gossamer wings
The picture of beauty it surely brings

Then make a wish it will come true
This little butterfly was meant for you
Its a little message from God above
Showering you with His blessed love

Butterfly Magic

Floating silently on the air
With no worries nor a care
Colorful wings spread in the sun
The beauty of Spring has begun

Butterfly dance such a delight
I stop to bask in this wonderful sight
Like a Ballet they flutter and twirl
Squeals of delight from my little girl

She holds out her hand and beauty lands
Wings gently fluttering as still she stands
Eyes opened wide her mouth an O
She holds up her prize for me to show

Then just as quickly her treasure departs
I see magic in her eyes and it touches my heart
The joy of a child so simple and pure
Precious memories just for her

Butterfly Kiss

Flitting around from one flower to the next,
Doing only what they do best,
Up and down, around and around,
Spreading pollen to all the flowers on the ground.

The butterflies, putting on their show,
Wearing splendid colors of blue, green and yellow.
Fluttering around without a care,
With all, their beauty they do share.

Children trying to catch them laughing out with glee,
The beautiful butterflies out of reach they do flee.
Be still as can be and you might not miss,
When they land on you, the gentle touch of a butterfly kiss.

Butterfly's Grace

Softly it drifts
Over the fields and into the meadows so green.
Ever so gentle, how it dances and sings,
A song of Mother Earth and all that she brings.
With grace and reverence all intertwined
This creation of wonder breathes life so divine.
A butterfly's life, how in awe I am.
From birth to death its beauty withstands.
With hues of orange, black and gold,
An artist's touch does unfold.
Like a painting upon a canvas face,
A work of art touched by God's grace.
