Butterfly

She spent most of her life wrapped in a dreary cocoon With each day, the walls closed tighter becoming her lifeless prison Watching the outside world she longed for the chance to break free The days passed, the seasons changed another spring had come Finally, he appeared and brightened her world as deep inside she started to change A never-ending smile had fallen across her lips as she looked upon him His words so soft, his touch so gentle she had nothing to fear, for he was her safety Slowly, the walls came down and she emerged from a tainted world Her colorful wings sprang out from behind her as he took her by the hand All she had longed for is now her reality peace, love, happiness Together, they fly into each new sunset for he has created this butterfly
