(A butterfly hovers over the departed.)
umm ... umm umm ... umm
Tears cease to all
as we stand in awe.
umm ... umm umm ... umm
Your spirit returns
on colorful wings . . .
of a butterfly.
umm ... umm umm ... umm
(A butterfly hovers over the departed.)
umm ... umm umm ... umm
Fluttering down,
it hovers around.
umm ... umm umm ... umm
It's wings drying tears,
vibrating with songs . . .
of a butterfly.
umm ... umm umm ... umm
(A butterfly hovers over the departed.)
umm ... umm umm ... umm
Your life goes on
in another realm,
umm ... umm umm ... umm
while beautiful wings
alight--bring solace--
via butterfly.
umm ... umm umm ... umm
(A butterfly hovers over the departed.)
umm ... umm umm ... umm
Awesome, it flies,
angel in disguise.
umm ... umm umm ... umm
Heavenly creature
it is homeward bound . . .
just a butterfly.
umm ... umm umm ... umm
(A butterfly hovers over the departed.)
umm ... umm umm ... umm
Hold wide your wings,
delicate, love springs.
umm ... umm umm ... umm
You bring us comfort
on beautious wings . . .
of a butterfly.
