To the Little Butterfly

Butterflies are free
Or so they tell me
Why did you fly away
You should be here stay
We think of you and cry
We can only wonder why

Why did you go
We may never know
Be free little butterfly
Fly high into the sky
We will always wonder why
As we say goodbye
To the Little Butterfly

I wish I had plain old Mary Janes...

A Pair of Shoes~Author Unknown
I am wearing a pair of shoes.
They are ugly shoes.
Uncomfortable shoes.
I hate my shoes.
Each day I wear them,
and each day I wish I had another pair.
Some days my shoes hurt so bad that
I do not think I can take another step.
Yet, I continue to wear them.
I get funny looks wearing these shoes.
They are looks of sympathy.
I can tell in others eyes that
they are glad they are my shoes and not theirs.
They never talk about my shoes.
To learn how awful my shoes are
might make them uncomfortable.
To truly understand these shoes
you must walk in them.
But, once you put them on,
you can never take them off.
I now realize that
I am not the only one who wears these shoes.
There are many pairs in this world.
Some woman are like me
and ache daily as they try and walk in them.
Some have learned how to walk in them
so they don't hurt quite as much.
Some have worn the shoes so long
that days will go by before they think
about how much they hurt.
No woman deserves to wear these shoes.
Yet, because of these shoes I am a stronger woman.
These shoes have given me the strength to face anything.
They have made me who I am.
I will forever walk in the shoes
of a woman who has lost a child
