The blue butterfly

Reposing on my shoulder

Whispers, “I love you.”

          The symbolism of a loved one, spirit or angel touching you when a butterfly alights on your shoulderis not lost on this little gem. This truly made me smile dear Rocky, my fav.

            Oh beloved Bella, you're compassionate comment has truly made my day. Thank you so much for your appreciation, my mom was my beacon in life, my source of love and joy, but remnants of her spirit still manifest themselves in the beautiful wonders of life. Blue butterflies are one of those wonders. May you have a blessed day.

            Oh I have to say I love in your comments where you told your mom to "rest in power"! Yesterday was my moms birthday and I felt her...beautiful sentiment in your poem and just remember they do love us.....their energy or presence is just on another level, I'm sure she is so proud of you!

            • Rocky Lagou

              Hello dear Christina, your words never fail to resonate. Thank you so much for your love, and I couldn't agree more with the "presence" you mention in your comment. It is truly like our loved ones' spirits remain with us despite their physical absence. I know she is resting in power, because she was such a strong warrior who battled with cancer for over 10 years and has inspired me to fight for my own life the same way. I pray all is well with you, and I wish you a lovely day.

              • Rocky Lagou

                Hi dear Dean, thanks so much for your generous words. To me, writing offers such a wonderful medium to express our appreciation for our loved ones. You are so kind.
