The Journey of the Monarch Butterfly

entry picture

What amazement to my eyes, Oh wonderful butterfly!

Your beauty, revealed upon creation. Almighty God, what a revelation!

Gliding and Swaying, with the wind you are dancing.

Your beauty, I was bewitched. Oh Lord, thank you for the gift.

 

Lovely butterfly, you and me are alike. We were bestowed with charm

That no one can defy! Dear God, You had blessed.

Oh dear butterfly, you and I travels a journey we might sometimes despise.

My beloved God will you reply if I asked, will the butterfly and I survive?

 

The world is treacherous for you and I. In this journey if misfortune we met

A poison within us, can we use? Oh Lord, please forgive!

Oh lovely butterfly, be careful when you fly!

Lost in land or water, even the wind might flatter!

 

Oh lovely butterfly, soar up into the sky! Perch on every flower, .

 Play in the meadow! Whatever we maybe, wherever we might be,

That even our life is short, it had begun and continued

But this very thing we ask, Oh Lord guide us that we may reach the end of our journey.

◄ For my onesided love..

Time Will Heal ►
