You remain in the midst of yesterday clinging to that which gives you peace at times timid in facing the future fearing life's sweet release. Softly your voice is calling touching the strings of heart missing those that you love but yet never to be apart. Behind a beautiful smile lies within so much pain look closely, see the trace of tears that have softly fallen like the rain. I watch you growing every day gaining strength, ready for flight You've reached inside yourself and you shine from inner light. Do not be afraid for you will learn to fly.... we all must live in the cocoon before we can become~ the butterfly. (dedicated with friendship to a very special butterfly.... fly my friend~peace) Like a red brick, in a white wall somebodies brush forgot to paint... lonely....(as sung by Tracy Lawrence..)
