Butterfly Spirit

I just found out the other day. Why did it take so long to hear it? I apologize. I just recognized The wings of your butterfly spirit. On the outside your wings seem delicate. You appear to need protection. But on the inside you’ve got rainbows Growing in every direction. Your cocoon has become your castle As strange as that may sound You’re accustomed to the strong tight fit And the way it anchors you down. During fleeting moments of your escape Daily while in your flight You share beautiful rainbow colors You live in your cocoon at night. I used to be a butterfly It’s a phase some of us go through One day you’ll come from the outside And see the inside shining through. Friends only want the best for friends. They don’t want each other to hurt. They want you to see things their way They want you to put first things first. Friends see butterflies as fragile After all it’s just a phase But you know from the inside It’s YOUR life. It’s YOUR ways. It’s Your butterfly spirit YOUR smile, YOUR laugh, Your colors It’s YOUR turn to be YOU this time, No disrespect to others So fly on little butterfly With purpose and with ease. Spread YOUR wings each morning And take YOUR flight in peace.
