Poem - A Butterfly Spoke - Thanksgiving 2013

A Butterfly Spoke

A butterfly spoke to an ancient stone arch saying,

“Surely you’re stronger than I.”



In a lumbering voice, the arch did reply,

“Yet, you are the one who can fly.”



Strength lies deep within each of us –

uniquely ours - for days we need to soar

and days we need to stand firmly upon the ground.

  1. I'm so grateful to see this! The arch and the butterfly will guide me tomorrow. Judy
