Listen to poem:
i have it here for safekeeping
the epitome of your life’s work
the crown jewel
the holy grail
a little butterfly
barely a teenager
the first workshop project
held in your hands
sanded
caressed
polished
for hours and hours
dedication
focus and determination
you had a vision
to transform a lifeless piece of wood
into the silky smooth finish
with
devotion
drive
ambition
passion
it’s only a butterfly
i think not
you gave it life
it’s got soul
a flavor of eternity
instilling the qualities
of how you lived your life
this butterfly lives on
