Words for the Journey

Discover a sanctuary of perspectives, tools, and shared experiences written for people living with grief.

Heavenly Butterflies

 

Gorgeous lives go flying by

Into deep blue azure skies

 

Exquisite wings, so decorated

Each one should be celebrated

For its beauty, strength and might

To see such splendor taking flight

Watching them brings much delight

And takes the soul to higher heights

 

So wondrous and free they are

If only they could reach the stars

Then those night lights in the sky

Would be bejeweled with butterflies

What a sight for all to see

Wings lit up like Tiffany

 

Do you ever take the place

Of these creatures with such grace?

 

{If so, someday I’ll meet you there

Where we will be so blessed to share

Ascending through sweet air of blue

Goodbyes erased I’ll fly with you}
