Butterfly

My heart is heavy for a family I know tonight.  Such saddeness should not have to be endured from a mother, a father, brothers and sisters or grandparents. Parents should not have to lose a child.  The order of life should be in stone. 


A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam
And for a brief moment its glory
and beauty belong to our world
But then it flies again
And though we wish it could have stayed . . .
We feel lucky to have seen it.
