A bud will burst open
Flashy color on display
Standing proudly, for just a few days
Faded petals drop one by one
Life was short, but brilliantly done
A butterfly is born but soon to die
Only a few days it has to fly
Parading around fairy meadows
Before resting forever within the shadows
Life was short, but brought pure joy
Chased with the net of a little boy
Time is meant for precious things
Love and laughter make the heart sing
Caring and giving to one lacking color
Exchanging smiles and thoughts
With one and another
Life was short, but full with love
Moments spent giving hugs
Forever etched in a loved-ones mind
Never to be forgotten, never to forget
Lasting memories with few regrets
Memories live longer than life
If made with love and true delight
Petals drop as life fades
Dreaming of butterfly parades
Flowers flashy on display
Placed around a summer grave
Life was short, but it was blessed
A heart at peace is able to rest
