A Butterfly In Flight

By Paul McCann.
.
The butterfly floated by and landed on a bud ,
I looked at it and knew it would fly away soon .

I whispered stay a while longer , If only it would ,
But I knew it would be gone before the flower would bloom .

Springtime is coming soon and everything shall become wrapped in and every dawn will bring heaven near .

I closed my eyes and said a prayer in the morning sun . Rest a while gentle butterfly ,
there’s nothing to fear .

The night is long and life is so short and then its gone .
The wings that give flight are a gift God has given you .
B
Fly away into the light before the brand new dawn
The sky awaits and the sun is brightly shining too .
