A Butterfly In Flight



A very special friend, an acquaintance of many years, has had a challenging life
forced to make decisions to increase her happiness.
Retiring from family business, she sought a new career,
then unexpectedly... discovered a new Life Partner.
To many places, they've together travelled...a new experience immensely enjoyed.
In early April to California they fly...to visit not only family,
but to discover the State's scenic wonders.
This tribute to her, I wrote.

I reflect on you, my Goddess Friend,
when you longed and yearned for a happier life;
when few inspiring interests you had;
when you had no chance to travel.
I had Concerns for You!

The Magic Wand appeared one eve
and the dust began to settle.
The pupa, the larva...they blew away.
From the cocoon, and bursting forth...a Butterfly!
And I was Pleasantly Pleased for You!

I view you now, my Goddess Friend...and marvel
how you climbed the obstacled mountain;
how you cast aside the cocoon;
how you've blossomed like a rose in bud.
I am So Happy for You!

Enjoy your Wings...and a colourful World...
visiting Disney, the Springs and Ocean so blue;
Yosemite beckons, along with the coast.
Your Magician will love you, and enchanted be
as he shares the Flight of his Butterfly!
