My Child



When my beautiful Marylou died

 

And the once garden bound butterflies gathered and paid a fleeting visit and surrounded her open casket


When the Blue Queen landed on her now cold lips to give her a farewell kiss


We found inner peace as we embraced the exquisite thought


It's not only us 

Who would of her miss
