I thought to myself where have you been little butterfly.

You come into this world as a cocoon all by yourself and blossom into

this beautiful butterfly and fly off to see the world.

What you don’t realize little butterfly as you flutter through your days

is how you touch those around you in your soft gentle way.

You don’t even realize the wonder and awe you create around you.

He fluttered his wings toward me as if he was waving good-by as he

headed towards the horizon.

He looked very happy and content as he went on his way, as if to say

to me “Don’t worry I’ll be okay”.

I was sad to see him go for he had touched my heart in such a way that

I knew my life would never be the same.

He had left an imprint of all the beauty life has to offer.

I knew each time I looked at another butterfly or horizon I would

remember our moment in time when it was only him and I.

I knew I would be a better person all because this little butterfly flew by

me one bright sunny day.
