The Fragile Butterfly
To My Mother and Father with Love
The butterfly's development
is a long and
patient process growing and
going through a vast
amount of changes
during its development.
Once it
sheds & spreads
out its wings.
It becomes a glorious mystical being of nature.
Yet, Fragile, though it is.
It rises high above the horizon
for all to see.
Mom and Dad
you are like the development
of the butterfly's process.
You have held me
when I was young and
nurtured my desires.
It is also your
patience and endurance
that reminds me of
the butterfly’s development.
During that time
you have offered some advice
some I took and
some I failed to take:
As I wanted to
spread my wings in
a glorious flight
perhaps the time was not right.
Which as caused some upheaval
and I have become a bit fragile.
I want to soar high above
the horizon for all to see
especially both of you.
I wanted to achieve
so high and so fast
to show my love and gratitude
and to bring joy into
your hearts once again.
However, I did not heed
the advice in the process of
patience and development
as a gradual process.
I present this butterfly
to you as an expression of love
that only a mother
can give but gratitude
for which a daughter
appreciates it.
I know now how fragile
a butterfly is
and its process needs time
and patience and at times
assistance to wait
its time to spread
and head for the horizon.
This butterfly will soar
some day I promise you that!
But I guess
I will have to wait until
the time is right.
I pray to God every night
that both of you are
here to see that day
when it comes into being.
Right now this butterfly
is fragile and is slowly
putting itself together:
It will take time,
support and even perhaps
assistance from outside.
So that I can soar for
you and dad
beyond the horizon
and reach the stars
and have both of you
share in my glorious flight.
The fragile butterfly will soar
when its time is right,
and will bring with its
courage, self-respect,
self-pride and the willingness
to try and never be trapped
under the net again.
I know in time the I
( the fragilebutterfly )
will soar past the horizon.
It is just that I pray to God
you are both here to join me
in that glorious flight
With Love Always,
