Mama Butterfly

My Golden Butterfly

My golden butterfly touches the sunShe sometimes sings to me when day is doneWhen she opens up her wings to fly into the worldI wish I could fly with her and smell the breezeIt must be peaceful with everything she sees
My golden butterfly comes to me when it is nightShe sleeps in my patio until it is daylightI see her in my garden, on the flowers and in the treesShe makes me smile, so delicate and freeLike an angel in the sky, I hope she will stay with meJust her and I
My golden butterfly likes the waterfallShe reminds me of heaven and the beauty of it allButterfly, oh butterfly, give me wings to fly with youYou are like a falling star, wonderful and newTouch the sun every morning, kiss the night goodbyePlease remember me, as in the world you fly.
