 Call to me when you are afraid And have no where left to go Call to me when you are alone And there is no one that you know I’m here to hold you tight And whisper in your ear I’m here to give you strength To face your every fear I’ll give a soothing touch Upon your brow so soft I’ll give you gentleness Setting your heart aloft I’m here if you look Just beyond your heart I’m here if you need me Never shall we part As you were for me When I needed you the most I will do the same for you Allow my love to be your host |

Your heart is so loving still after all the pain and anguish you have endured. This was so tender and caring how could one not call you for help. The butterfly has spread her wings of loving heart once again.  |

Butterflies, I really love the gentle sweetness in this piece. It flows with such tenderness of love. Just watch out for those parasites though, you could get an itch...  Of course you might like that itch.... Parker |

BDC, I am sitting here admiring the strength of a single butterfly. It is an awesome sight to behold my friend. This was beautiful!! I have to say, I loved it. Every word. LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |
