flight of the butterfly, rising free
This ring on my finger
I can’t seem to take it off
So many wonderful days
Alive in the vows that we made and kept
God, please hear my prayer
Show me you are here
Fill my soul with peace
Take away my fear
Rippling waters flowing
Glorious light streams
Touches the growing heart
And the river below
Breathe in the warmth
Of a day granted to all
Alive in the waves
Of a moment of life’s grace
Rippling hearts sowing
Light and water and love
Touched by the day
Divinity rising free
