Every butterfly starts as a caterpillar.
Within their cocoons they develop and blossom into beautiful butterflies.
Some butterflies stay here on earth to roam and venture about,
but...
Some butterflies want to soar above the earth's limitations.
Your butterfly has her wings now.
She soars throughout the trees and the leaves with the pixie fairies.
She soars and flies with her friends for now.
She's waiting for the time when she can soar along side you.
Your butterfly, beautiful and unique, has no limits, no expectations placed upon her, she truly is a free spirit who has not foretaken our earthly limitations.
She is truly blessed as all butterflies are, blessed with a free soul.
You are also blessed, as well as her father,
the spirit of all that she is will be forever in your hearts,
waiting for you to hold and cherish
when the time is right.
Author notes
This is a poem that I'd written for someone near and dear to me in my heart. Unfortunately, she's experienced a loss in her life recently that no woman should have to endure. I dedicate this write to her as a type of comfort in this time of her life.
~~Although I'm not there physically, I'm there in spirit ~~ Miss you xoxoxo

My tears fall freely as I sit here in the library with all these people looking at me but i can't help it. Your words are beautiful and make my heart lighter. I can visualize a little one dancing among the faeries and the sprites waiting to meet the ones who love her most. Although I will not have her I may have someone like her waiting to be in my arms soon. I love you Aunt Wauka.
Thank you for being you and for loving even the worst parts of me. I miss you too.
