Too Close To The Edge


In the hush after the storm's refrain, Butterflies emerge softly once again Their wings a painted canvas of pure gold Fluttering gently, kissing blossoms untold Droplets of rain still cling to the air, Glistening like diamonds upon flowers fair The lightning's flash, the thunder's roar, Now replaced by a tranquil rapport. Spring whispers secrets to the earth, Giving the butterflies a new birth, A symphony of colors takes flight, Dancing in the sun's golden light. So let us cherish this magical scene, Where nature's beauty is evergreen, Butterflies soaring, free to roam, A world that no longer feels like my home I know 'pon this earth I'm just passing through I am on the precipice, but not blue Ahead the city made by God's strong hand Reach forth take hand of Jesus, not man Too close to the scary edge, do not fear Too near the precipice, hang on my dear When you reach the end of life's journey Welcome the men wheeling in the gurney
