To Dance With Butterflies




Walking in the gardens path
Where trees dripped in foggy dew
The day seemed quite dreary to me
Thinking no sun would ever shine through

There I took my time
Embracing the quiet solitude
While many times in my mind
Crossed… memories of you

As I walked around a stone laden path
There stood a little girl
Where a ray of sunshine broke through the trees
Illuminating her golden curls

I stood there mesmerized
In what I held…before my tear filled eyes
Watching her dance…in her white satin dress
With hands held up to the skies

With the prettiest smile
I think I have ever seen
There I noticed in my amazement…
She was dancing with butterflies

I gasped… For in a flutter of gentle wings
They would land upon her golden hair
“To be that child once again”, I sighed
“Without a worry or a care”

As I stood there, she looked up at me
I saw the joy in her beautiful eyes
There two golden wings would open
Spreading slowly…from side to side

Without her even knowing
She had taught my heart so very much
Without a single word spoken
Or by a hands gentle touch


Then the thought crossed my mind, “Was she an angel?”
Sent to guard the butterflies
Or to bring joy unto my heart
To help dry the tears I’ve cried

Then she said…
This one little phrase
That I will remember
For the rest of my days

“Our days can be whatever we make them
No matter to the clouds in the skies
For we can embrace each moment
We can dance with butterflies”

There in my overwhelming joyfulness
I fell to my knees and cried
As I looked back up, wiping the tears from my eyes
The little girl was gone…
Except for my chance… to dance with butterflies
