Butterflies September came. Left with the first hint of Autumn, a wisp of coolness that hinted of yellowing leaves. I loved you then, especially then, when little butterflies fluttered in my tummy – your first hello. Yesterday you were two, today fifteen, and tomorrow, your dad and I watch you walk away . . . to a home of your own, and I still love you . . . just as I did then, with little butterflies fluttering in my tummy, hello still kissing my heart, and mommy on your lips as you turn and wave goodbye. September leaves today, the first hint of Autumn, a wisp of coolness hinting of yellowing leaves . . . your own little butterflies whispering . . . hello. © wesley james beard, jr. april 2008 [This message has been edited by jwesley (04-08-2008 09:25 PM).] |

Jimmy, This poem lingers like a butterfly. I read it last night and smiled. When I read it again, I smiled. Thank you for the gift. Alison |
