Forever In Your Heart

Tight cocoon holds her,
binds her, restricts her,
she cannot breathe,

Tightly it wraps her,
tightly it traps her,
not protecting, it deceives,

She has beauty hidden,
talents underneath,
that no one can see,

She aches, she dreams,
she hopes, for some day,
to be free,

To spread her wings,
to reach for the sky,
all the heart knots,
she will untie,

Beautiful little butterfly,
break away from your cocoon,
fly to the highest star,
reach for the golden moon,

Dream all your dreams,
live a life to live,
breathe and fly free,

You have so much love to give,
Little butterfly, dry those sweet little eyes,
break free, and just fly....fly...fly...

Love the art pictured with this, it so compliments your words.  And your words  are quite lovely.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.
