Hi everybody.

Nice thread, Dolly, your butterflies are lovely.



Who is the Butterfly?

She is beautiful
In her confidence
A smile that melts thoughts away
With glittering eyes like stars in the night
and her flirting pose makes this heart race
and she knows, yes she knows I cannot take flight

She is beautiful
In her kindness
Always a little for one that has less
With open hands offered to a friend in need
and her concerns become my concerns
and she knows, yes she knows I will follow her lead

She is beautiful
In her humor
A laugh that could drown tears of the sad
With quickness of mind and rye is her smile
and she whispers when she gets me alone
She will play with me, she will play with me for a while

She is beautiful
because she is she
Who is the butterfly she asks me
With finger tips on her cheek, I replied ''it's you''
and her eyes light up like a child again
no she replied, oh no she replied ''it's you''

This was fun, and your thread is just beautiful, Dolly.




An Irish Blessing

May the wings of the butterfly kiss the sun.
And find your shoulder to light on.
To bring you luck, happiness and riches.
Today, tomorrow and beyond.

He's doing okay now. Finally went back to the doctor because he just wasn't getting better. Come to find out, some of his problem is that he quit smoking 'cold turkey' on Valentine's Day - no patch, no gum, no nuthin', and doctor says that nicotine withdrawal makes many people feel physically ill, like they have the flu. So that, combined with the allergic reactions to the pollens in the air and the bronchitis that he was trying to get over, hit him pretty hard.

But he is doing much better now. I will tell him that you asked about him. He will appreciate that. :-)

She's a Butterfly


Martina McBride

She remembers when she first got her wings
And how she opened up that day
she learned to sing
Then the colors came, erased the
black and white
And her whole world changed
when she realized

[Chorus:]
She's a butterfly, pretty as the crimson sky
Nothing's ever gonna bring her down
And everywhere she goes
Everybody knows she's so glad to be alive
She's a butterfly

Like the purest light in a darkened world
So much hope inside such a lovely girl
You should see her fly, it's almost magical
It makes you wanna cry, she's so beautiful

[Chorus]

God bless the butterfly,
give her the strength to fly
Never let her wings touch the ground
God bless the butterfly,
give her strength to fly
Never let her wings touch the ground

[Chorus]

God bless the butterfly,
give her the strength to fly
Never let her wings touch the ground
God bless the butterfly,
give her the strenght to fly
Never let her wings touch the ground

Is a caterpillar ticklish?
Well, its always my belief
That he giggles as he wiggles
Across a hairy leaf.
