Butterflies In a Box

i had a dozen butterflies in a shiny pink box every day i would peek to see if they were doing okay i would gently lift the lid and try not to let a single one out i held them oh so gingerly when i lifted the cover of the box i saw the most beautiful light surrounding the butterflies it was a light of happiness a light of new promises the light within the box had an unusual power it overtook my heart and i began to sing it was a song that i had never heard before a song of enchantment a song of eternal peace it was as though the Creator came and deposited a massive amount of joy within me i was overcome with emotion and tried to close the lid but the power of its contents was too great to bare i could not close the lid all the way i asked the Creator to help me in closing the lid he said, “ i wanted to allow a few butterflies out to give you a glimpse of your future” he then took the lid and closed it for me for a short time he promised to return another day and remove the lid permanently humbled in His presence I thanked Him for His eternal love the gifts of the Creator are priceless Gwendolen Rix 12-5-14
