Butterfly
Does the white butterfly symbolize a soul,
your angel watching over you,
so close you could touch it?
I want to believe it is true.
Maybe it is just a white butterfly
winging through our sky,
but I want to believe it is you,
I whisper with a sigh.
Sometimes a butterfly represents no more
than the beauty of it’s flight,
or the journey it is taking,
from sunrise to twilight.
Since you’ve been gone,
we all see them, although rare,
and we want to believe it is
your way to show you care.
But, you would never arrive so quietly,
like a whisper on a breeze,
for you, my darling daughter,
did little with such ease!
You arrive with “in your face!”
that’s how we know you’re here,
we’ve all had a dose of that,
and it’s not a whisper in our ear!
Your actions shout,
“Pay attention, I am here!”
and forces us to believe,
you will always be near.
I believe,
Mama

Last night,KC and I had our butterfly tattoos done by Jesse, who did our Kenna Lindsays for all of us last summer. Kameron and Kenton love them! Beautiful, just like you. Next? A star, of course.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't seen any white butterflies this summer, much to my discontent. But last week, one flew near Chana and I, then again near Kenton and I. So I decided it was my sign to "go get that tattoo now". I did. The next morning I was in the garden center at Walmart and a white butterfly followed me from flower to flower. I went another direction, it kept following. Then it moved on so I followed it from flower to flower. Fifteen minutes of joy! The young employee working there must of though I was just another crazy old broad chasing butterflies. (I was!)
ReplyDeleteSchool began on August 22. Chana and I have seen a little white butterfly every day since I got my tattoo. Even if the time is different, it appears when we go out to for "guard duty". Hi, honey!
