"ON THE WINGS OF A BUTTERFLY"

In honor of my father's passing on Monday Jan 29th at 82 years old, I love you dad and will miss you terribly, this poem is also for anyone who has lost someone.


ON THE WINGS OF A BUTTERFLY, I AM FREE
I AM FREE OF THE WORLD’S TROUBLES
I AM FREE TO FLY ABOVE ALL THE WORRIES
I AM FREE TO LEAVE THIS WORLD AND ENTER
A NEW ONE

A NEW WOLRD FREE OF STRIFE AND TURMOIL
FREE OF HATE AND INJUSTICE
FREE OF CRIME AND INPATIENCE
FREE OF THE HANDS OF TIME

ON THE WINGS OF A BUTTERFLY, I AM FREE
I AM FREE TO GO WHERE I WANT
I AM FREE OF ALL PAIN
I AM LIGHT AS A FEATHER AND HAVE NO WORRIES
ON THE WINGS OF A BUTTERFLY

I HAVE ONLY ONE REGRET IN LEAVING THIS WORLD
AND THAT IS THAT I CANNOT BE WITH YOU ANYMORE
YOU HAVE BROUGHT ME SO MUCH JOY IN MY LIFE
I HOPE YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVED YOU

ON THE WINGS OF A BUTTERFLY I AM FREE,
BUT I CANNOT HAVE YOU
BUT WHAT I DO HAVE, AS DO YOU IS A LIFETIME OF MEMORIES
OF HAPPY TIMES AND OF LOVE AND JOY

I KNOW WHAT WE MEANT TO EACH OTHER
THE SADNESS AND EMPTYNESS WILL LIFT
ON THE WINGS OF A BUTTERFLY I AM LIFTED FROM MY SORROW
AND AM UPLIFTED WHEN I THINK OF YOU, OUR LIFE TOGETHER

YOU WILL BE THAT BUTTERFLY SOMEDAY,
AND I AM SURE WE WILL MEET AGAIN
HIGH ABOVE THE WORLD
WITHOUT A CARE, IN TOTAL PEACE
AND TOGETHER AGAIN.
