Notes About The Poem

Angelic Butterfly - a Collaboration With Heidi Sands

She arrived on the wings of a butterfly
 But left with wings of an angel, soaring ever so high
 She’s found heaven's glory in which to dwell
  I know that she is with love and doing well

  Her laughter still floats on a summer breeze
 And tears still fall with the rain
 And butterflies still flutter with delicate ease
  Where flowers bloom and happiness reigns

 She held my hand, running through the fields
 Brought me safety with her protective shields
 Then called me often crying out to me
  When I was restricted from her, not allowed to see

  But, she left with wings of an angel
  To a far better place than here
  Her memory is my cherished souvenir 
   Bright light shines on her, where she has no fear
                          ~~~
