Lullaby to a Butterfly
Warm breezes blow soft ripples
In her cotton sundress
Revealing her private dream
She gently reaches
To catch a butterfly
Her voice whispers a lullaby
Rustling Autumn leavers
Suspend her song
Another dream lost to the sun
A small caterpillar
Silently spins his cocoon
She waits patiently for him to emerge
Expecting only beauty
Her song lingers on
Lullaby to a butterfly
Written for my friend Marcy who is a singer and experienced several late term miscarriages as well as the stillbirth of her son Andrew
