Butterfly

As you danced in the light with joy,
love lifted you. As you brushed against
this world so gently, you lifted us.

At the Rising of the Sun

At the rising of the sun
and its going down,
We remember you.
At the blowing of the wind
and in the chill of winter.
We remember you.
In the opening of the buds
and in the rebirth of the spring,
We remember you.
At the blueness of the skies
and in the warmth of summer,
We remember you.
At the sound of a note
and the hum of a song,
We remember you.
At the rustling of the leaves
and the beauty of autumn,
We remember you.
As long as we live, you, too will live;
for you are forever a part of us,
As we remember you.
