Fly my darlings fly.
The world awaits your majestic beauty.
Sent upon wings and prayers
to places others wouldn't dare.
Touch many lives with butterfly kisses.
Affect many more with butterfly wishes.
Take time to smell the flowers
traveling to warm climates.
Fly my darlings fly.
Return to me in spring.

Soft, gentle, beautiful. Very inspiring. It has a wistful tone, sending them away to return in spring, so many meanings lie within these words.
-
I just love this! It is so beautiful and gentle to the ears.

A beautifully soft and charming poem. This can be read in so many ways - reminds me of watching ones children leave home to find life for themselves, but giving them the knowledge that you are always there to go back to. Just gorgeous writing and a well deserved trophy winner.

So light and pretty and very charming in the old fashioned way. Back to the innocence of seeing just the natural beauty of something. Reminds me of the old saying "If you love it, let it go and it will return to you". Words and illustration blend well and compliment each other.

This piece is so beautiful and I congratulate you on the much-deserved bronze! I will look at the picture that inspired this piece, for it seems the other way around to me--that your words inspired the picture. Keep up the great work!

Oh so beautifully done. I am so glad I stopped by to read.

Very nice direction to go with the picture. I especially enjoyed your 'sent upon wings and prayers to places where others wouldn't dare'. Also smiled at the 'butterfly kisses,''butterfly wishes'. Nice ending touch of 'return to me', reminding reader of their migratory nature. Congratulations on your trophy!
