Butterflies
Butterflies are free or so they say
In a cocoon so tightly wrapped
Awaiting the magical moment
To spread their wings and fly
The depth of love hidden
Away from the light of the day
From prying eyes that understand not
And words that cut to the soul
This beauty so fragile and pure
A special gift for those who care
A magical flight for those who dare
Pause and take the time to see
Beyond the shell to what is hidden away
The beauty is magical; the love so pure
This gift so rare; so precious to behold
The butterfly hidden away and wanting to fly
