MY LITTLE YELLOW BUTTERFLY

 

 

YELLOW WINGS IN THE AIR

FLOATING HERE FLOATING THERE

FACE LIKE THE BEAUTIFUL SUN

SPARKLING SHINING HAVING FUN.

BUTTERFLIES ARE MY FAVORITE

THINGS, I SEE THE LOVE IN THEM

GOD BRINGS.

SO DELICATE SOFT AND FINE

THEY FLUTTER BY AND PAY NO MIND.

I WONDER WHAT GOD HAD IN MIND

WHEN HE MADE YOUR WINGS

SO PAPER FINE

A UGLY WORM IS WHAT YOU WERE

UNTIL THOSE BEAUTIFUL WINGS

BEGAN TO STIR.

I THINK YOU ARE SO MUCH LIKE US

WHEN WE SIN AND MAKE A FUSS

WE'RE UGLY JUST LIKE THE WORM

A PARDON FROM GOD MAKES US LEARN.

WE SAY WE'RE SORRY AND GET OUR

WINGS

LIKE THE BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLY

BEAUTY WE BRING.

I WONDER IF THE BUTTERFLY KNOWS

THE BEAUTY THEY HAVE

THEY GLITTER AND GLOW.

BUTTERFLY ANGEL

As delicate as a beautiful butterfly
Eyes as bright as the morning sun
The same color as the deep blue sky
A smile freely shared with everyone

Warm hugs that make my soul sing
So much love within her tender heart
A special feeling that only she can bring
One that I keep with me when we’re apart

Like a butterfly floating above a flower
She moves among her family and friends
Touching each with her gentle power
Full of an energy and life that never ends

A special little girl who is loved by us all
With a bright future to look forward to
As we watch the little girl grow up big and tall
And see a lovely young lady’s dreams come true
