Poem
3 Monarch butterflies, her spirit still lives on 3 Monarch butterflies show me she’s not really gone 3 Monarch butterflies flying through the wind To take me back to somber days where she speaks to me again I’ll always remember The things she has taught me About being glorious To live for the sake of being To be kind and generous And say no ill to anyone The last time that I spoke to her She was laughing and humming a song The days that she followed me on And spent time building me up Telling me how to paint the sun And laugh, looking back on every step The times her and grandpa too Would watch me as I went to the park And looked down from the rocket ship And smile at their waving arms The times she’d take me to places And comment on the beauty of every scene She’d tell me “There’s beauty everywhere There’s beauty in everything.” When I saw her in the hospital, she smiled as I walked in I sat down beside her bed, and began to hold her hand She was in such critical pain but her smile never dimmed I showed her a picture of her wedding day She said “That’s my husband, I can’t wait to see him.” 3 monarch butterflies were hatched the minute she passed away We were waiting days for cocoons to hatch and the butterflies to be set free i got home from the hospital and was sitting on my porch I saw a monarch butterfly flying close to me To me it seemed to symbolize That she was well and at peace
