The Butterfly Angel

it landed on my finger 
as I stood by my windowsill 
even though my sight is fading 
I know it's yellow still
and every time it visits 
I can't help but she'd a tear
because every time it visits 
I know my angels here
she comes to me in the mornings
she stays all day long
she leaves me at night 
but I know she's not really gone
I feel her in the breeze 
she's the shadow on my wall
I feel her when I breathe 
she's with me threw it all 
so come to me  sweet butterfly 
there's no reason for you to be gone
so come to me sweet butterfly 
with me you do belong......

A Lovely Sacrifice

once severed from the vine of life 
It's given to the love of thy eye
And as it slowly dies 
Its cherished 
Then lost with time.
To have served its purpose then tossed away
It's a sad life for a rose I'd say...

Goodbye My Friend

your memories I keep 
deep inside 
their always there 
in my dreams at night
I see your smiling face 
your cryn eyes 
that laugh you always tryd to hide
but there is one thing I've been denied 
that's the sound of your voice 
saying your last goodbye....

Missing You

As I lay upon the ground 
staring up at the clouds
wondering if you are here 
watching as I wipe my tears
I'm sorry that you had to leave 
oh how I wish it were me
beneath this dirt where u lay
waiting on judgement day....

Marked In Time

when we leave this world
we leave behind 
a mark on the very fabric of time
and when we move on
to that other place 
there will be nothing left
but the memories we made...
