Blue Butterfly

                                    
blue butterfly
the memory of you
 brought to mind
 again and again
                          
blue butterfly
enjoy each day
the sun
 the freedom
now and forever,
yours
                         
blue butterfly
onward
up, up and away
this time
is your time
to soar
                 
blue butterfly
my wish…
to know in my heart
 to feel your presence
forevermore
                                                  
Dedicated in memory of my dear mom, Helen Ruth. 
You are in my thoughts, every day. ♥

Haiku Reflections: Sun Butterfly

                              
warmth of summer sun

                                     
butterfly basks in the glow
                                                  
breaks free, flies alone

Love is Never Ending

Yesterday, I missed you even more than usual.
 
 
Memories that tug at my heart.

The simple, everyday…
at the time “taken for granted” moments.

                      
Coffee or lunch at our favorite place.
The many, many laughs we shared.
Shopping for that elusive ”perfect” pair of shoes.
All the treats that I didn’t really need;
 but you wanted me to have.
Time well spent in the kitchen.
And so much more…
                       
I felt [...]

These are just 60 of my favorite things…

This was a post that I wrote and published over at Veggies, Crafts and Tails  back when I first started blogging, in 2006.  I recently took another look at this list and except for a ‘tweak’ here and there, the same 60 favorites still apply.

Butterfly….

                            
Butterfly….
                       
Finally free to fly again.
Up above.
Far from the troubles and sadness.
This world had been for too long.
         
You are with me…
Day by day.
Tangible.
Your presence stronger than ever.
Your touch, always within reach.
               
As you flit among the flowers and the trees.
Sharing your beauty.
A miracle of grace and rebirth.
No longer sadness, only joy and release.
               
As the [...]
