A butterfly flutters by beautiful and free
Sharing it's splendor where ever it may be
My eyes enjoy the pleasure
Of God's most fleeting treasure
I care not now to chase it's flight
My world today not very bright
A mournful tear falls from my eye
A friend has had to say good-bye
to her most precious Butterfli
I can not think, I can not say
The utter grief stands in the way
I look to the Heavens for understanding
What purpose can there be?
To bring into this world such love and joy
only to take her back to thee?
Again I see a butterfly beautiful and free
