THE BUTTERFLY IS YOU (DAD)
by bikerbabe
© September 27, 2003
As I started to mow my lawn this Saturday morning, a somewhat large butterfly
flew around me.
It kept circling around me for a few seconds.
I knew it was you Dad, but what were you trying to say!
And then tonite as I write this, I realized you were telling me that you're in a
better and peaceful place and that God had called you home that mid July day.
And after you circled around me this morning, you then landed your orange
butterfly wings on some brush in front of my house.
You just rested there for a short time and then flew off.
I never saw you again that day.
Your landing on the brush was your way of watching me to see what I'd do.
It was your way of saying to me "go on with your life and don't continually cry."
Your death was only a new beginning.
I'll await the next butterfly just to see and hear what you (Dad) have to say.
LOVE AND PRAYERS ALWAYS, Rita :)

AS I CRAWL ALONG THE BOTTOM OF MY PAIN
I KNOW WHAT HELL IS
A COLD AND DARK AND LONELY VOID
---------NOT LIKE THEY SAY......
AS I CRAWL ALONG THE BOTTOM OF MY PAIN
I KNOW WHAT LIFE IS
A SICK AND ACHING HURT
-----------NOT LIKE THEY SAY........
AS I CRY TO LEAVE MY SOUL BEHIND
THERE`S NO WAY OUT.
THERE IS NO DEATH AT ALL
-----------JUST LIKE THEY SAY.........
AS I LEARN AGAIN TO LIKE TO BE ALONE
PLEASE STAY AWAY.
YOU`RE FACE MUST FADE WITH TIME
-----------JUST LIKE THEY SAY..........
AS I CRAWL ALONG THE BOTTOM OF MY PAIN
THERE IS NO HOME

YOU ARE A RAZOR TO MY SOUL
NOTHING LEFT TO CUT----------
THE SEARING SLITS OF ANGUISH SLASH
MY SOUL
A MUTILATED MESS OF MANGLED MISERY----------
