it is, but brief- upon the leafy branch
with courage, they toil on stems of hope
trees symbolic bear their breast,
to nurture them Nature’s love
and as the caterpillar gathers lush greens
and earthen fruits
the season turns, and their bed is made,
a chrysalis abode
within this oval pupa of love,
birthing extensions, are heaven's silent messengers
…emergent they become,
~butterflies~
with colorful wings
to carry your love and heartfelt wishes
far distant they fly,
to sit on God’s finger, and whisper his ear;
‘I’ll be there soon, with brother and son
please take care of them Lord…they are precious to me,
and I love them... very much.’

For Kelle Marie, aka...stavykm
We are all butterflies~
he made us this way,
to sit on his finger
in colors of love,
he gave us

So Compassionate.......
I know this will touch both Kelle and Pete as well as his brother{Kelle's husband} Bruce. This is so encouraging reminding us of all the diferent colos of our lives how God made us all so unique and different but alike in so many ways as well. Thanks for this thought provoking piece as well as the gentle approach you have taken at this time in his life!!!~~Toni~~
