Butterfly Elegy

             For Vanessa                

Fly away young butterfly

to where we use to play.

Fly away young butterfly

we’ll get back to you someday.

Where warmness kindles and

love abounds; its better there.

Where time is slowed and untouched light,

we’ll each hold you tight with care.

Fly away young butterfly-

perfection personified.

Fly away young butterfly

your laughter has not died.

A day with pure happiness

where twinkling dost flow

upon me, open arms

to them my heart will go.

Fly away young butterfly

past your time on earth.

So fly away young butterfly

you were chosen before birth.

                                                     

I love you Vanessa
