flight of the butterfly, rising free
The age of wisdom
Will begin with a flutter.
With the speed of a thought
All life is transformed.
God’s highest calling
In this, the highest moment
Pause to see Him here
time to turn the page
adventure around the next bend
following the sage
writing these new words i send
we squabbled and fought
rarely did we agree
and yet i am thankful
for lessons you taught me
only two reasons
that we are alive
to learn and to teach
in both do we thrive
you honed and you smoothed me
though it wasn't your intent
perfection is inevitable
harshness you did not invent
so all that is left
after moments of blue
a word and two more
thanks and fuck you
