Butterfly Prayers
The prayers we pray float to the sky
Each night before we dream
Carried above to the ones we love
On beautiful butterfly wings
A gentle breeze full of grace
Lifts them to the sky
Those precious wings say the things
So often on our minds
Invited in through the gates
Where streets are paved with gold
Where Angels trod and pains forgot
Just like the story's told
Far beyond the misty meadow
And past the tranquil pools
Where rainbows rise and white doves fly
My message waits for you
Landing on the precious flower
That you've become to me
I feel as though I'm half the soul
Of who I used to be
My heart is full of emptiness
Since you've gone away
I hope to catch a glimpse of you
As now I often gaze
When I visit to your earthly home
Your presence still feels near
As though you're on vacation now
I wish you'd reappear
A part of me went with you
The day you left us here
I only hope you get my note
And hear my butterfly prayers
