WOUNDED LITTLE BUTTERFLY

WOUNDED LITTLE BUTTERFLY

Wounded little butterfly

Trembling in his hand

She couldn't trust just anyone

Why couldn't he understand?

Her little heart was beating

She couldn't catch her breath

Her fear of trusting anyone 

Was a matter of life and death

Her wings were torn and tattered

She could no longer fly

She couldn't feel the wind beneath her wings

Or reach up to the sky

It was such a sorrowful sight

Trying to watch her flit and flutter

He kept trying to get her to open up

But she had no words to utter

Tears began to flood her eyes

As pain, filled her heart

She was trying to be so strong

But instead, she fell apart

His kindness and his patience

Began to soothe away the fear

She no longer flinched in terror

Whenever he'd come near

He said; Your wings have gotten stronger

It's time to reach up to the sky

It's time to put all this behind you

And spread your wings and fly
