Bright Pink Butterfly - Poem

A bright pink butterfly comes flittering past 

as I fall down on the dew covered grass

The gentle wind twirls through my tousled hair

and the flowers dance wildly without any care

Finally the storm clouds have passed us by

and the sun shines brightly in the soft blue sky

The tender rays caress my tear stained face

the warmth wraps around me in the sweetest embrace

I close my eyes and rest there on the grassy floor

I know now that I don't have to cry anymore

I can feel your peace settling over me

and the warmth of your love graciously setting me free

For too long this grief has taken hold of my heart

but now you whisper that it is time for the healing to start

A bright pink butterly comes flittering past

and I finally find peace there on that dew covered grass
