A Butterfly in flight

A Butterfly in flight
Soaring with the wind
A Butterfly in flight
Captured in the moment
Be still and hear the quiet
Listen for the rustle
of waters ‘neath your feet
Captured by the Beauty
of flowers’ breath so sweet
Angels lilt upon her breast
Resting in the calm
Bringing rest upon a heart
Awakened at the dawn
Colors playing instruments
As graceful petals dance
Every breath a moment
A Dream with a new chance
Beauty is a flower
Bringing hope to thee
Listening to a melody
In three part harmony
Every moment captured
By Art and Art alone
Living right beside me
My happy place my home
Bearing my impatiens
My sunshine by the bay
Beauty for the restless
A gift another day
Listen for the laughter
Be still and see my love
Bringing breathless Beauty
God’s blessing from above
I am always with you
In every blooming Spring
In every lily flower
In every bird that sings
The Beauty of a lifetime
A Butterfly in flight
Gone to my Creator
More precious in my sight
No more restless waiting
I’ve done and had it all
Giving Love Creating
Fulfilled the Master’s call
I am so sorry not to be able to attend but I pray this blesses your hearts and fills the day, and days to come, with flowers and memories that never fade. Nancy was all of this to so many of us. She was A Butterfly in flight.
Sending Love, Susan Vaughan Shumake
