Oh to Be a Butterfly

Gliding far as the wind will carry me

Flying as high as clouds in the bright blue sky

Gleefully pain free like children running carefree

With no worries where money will come from to buy

Just the necessities of life without a shopping spree

Able to go anywhere without prodding my body to comply

Having dear loved ones to support me that don't want to flee

Oh how I dream of the paradise without any reason to cry

Spreading awesome multi-hued wings so perfect and pain free

Fluttering over springtime blossoms admired by many an eye

Capable of hugs without anyone needing to be afraid to touch me

Wanting to see loved ones passed on brings such a solemn sigh

Not a fleeting fantasy to get me through my painful plea

Always sending up prayers asking for help to get me by

Accepting God's purpose for what I was meant to be

Oh, how I want to be as free as a butterfly.
