The box opened
and as the warmth of the air
touched the fragile wings
they came to life
Holding their breathe
and feeling the exhilaration
That hadn't been felt in days
A Celebration took place!
One that only the heart can sing
and the soul can see.
The pain eased with each butterfly
that fluttered into the garden
Oh, they danced in celebration
To be free!!
They touched grace
Upon each face
That gazed upon them
The teardrops fell
between the witnesses
of this affair.
The miracle of this moment
will continue on...
And aren't we fortunate to have witnessed it at all!?!
To have this blessing remain within our heart?
Yes, and Amen to that!
For this is the Celebration of this Man.
And with each butterfly witnessed
He shall remain.
