The Butterfly  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 of yourself and you shine from inner light. Do not be afraid for you too will learn to fly.... we all must live in the cocoon before we can become~ the butterfly. {revised 8-22-03} I must have had my momma's will and Gods Amazing Grace... I'm a survivor.... (Reba) [This message has been edited by Gentle Spirit (08-22-2003 07:57 AM).] |

Oh, I was captivated by the last verse, my friend!! What beautiful thoughts it held as I read. I don't recall seeing this one before, but am so glad it's here right now!! ~S~ Accept these small gifts from my gypsy heart ~~S~~ |

Softly your voice is calling touching the strings of heart missing those that you love but yet never to be apart. So tender and true, a melody of words, soothing and beautiful...thank you for sharing |

Donna, this is simply beautiful. I am adding this to my library. “We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best that we can find in our travels is an honest friend.” –Robert Louis Stevenson |
