Forgive Me, My Daughter/My Butterfly

Forgive me, my daughter but I have grown too sick to live
But believe me, love for you is all I will ever give
Forgive me, my husband for I have pushed you away
I grew too ill and still you didn’t stay away
I love you both to this day

If I screamed, you pleaded with me to calm down
If I writhed in agony, you stayed right here with me
If I needed to be held tightly, your arms surrounded me
When I’d lie in bed, I’d hold you my girl as hubby strokes my head
But now the gates of heaven are calling
From your arms of peace, I am falling

I see you sitting there alone my girl
Daddy isn’t doing well; please go give him a hug for me
You two are my world
And never enough tears will fall to free you from this agony

Although I must leave you,
Just know that I choose you over everything else
I will look the lord in the eyes
I will tell him that I’ll see you on the other side
Here we’ll be together again
And never again will you say goodbye

If I screamed, you pleaded with me to calm down
If I writhed in agony, you stayed right here with me
If I needed to be held tightly, your arms surrounded me
When I’d lie in bed, I’d hold you my girl as hubby strokes my head
But now the gates of Heaven are calling
From your arms of peace, I am falling

"My Butterfly"

Such an iridescent happiness
A beautiful butterfly
She just flew into my skies

Such an iridescent awakening
A phosphorescent butterfly
Just gazed into my eyes


This butterfly is a reflection of my love
Its ample touch comes from above
Such an iridescent joy is enough
As I once more feel its touch

I watched her fly in my skies
I watched her fly in my eyes
My butterfly
