A Butterfly Life


Life

Like colored butterflies

flies by across the sky

as you look out the window

driving by

 

Life

It ends so quick

 

Life

is only lived once

I want to live fully and still fulfill

the promises my mother made

 

She promised she would graduate

She promised she would beat cancer

And in death, maybe she did

She promised to live fully

Because happiness and Joy are fleeting

Like butterflies
