Butterfly

 

I have taken many moments to find the right things to say,

When I think of how wonderful you are the words just slip away,

I really cannot begin to tell you how you light up the room,

When you enter into a place there is no sign of doom.

The smile on your face is as beautiful as the stars above,

You are a true expression of God’s creation and his love.

You are blessed with a spirit that is genuine and ooh so true,

Your personality is so awesome you keep others from being blue.

Always hold your head up and never look down,

Continue to trust the Master and stay on level ground.

You are like a colorful butterfly; the limit is truly the sky,

When you are faced with obstacles just spread your wings and fly.

Remember to trust the Savior and always bend your knees to pray,

And know in your heart that He will always make a way.
