My Little Butterfly
Sweet Message from my Daughter in Heaven
My baby girl, you left us five years ago.
It's been a dark, cold world since you left.
Our hearts are broken since you had to go;
We try to "live," but our lives are bereft.
… How hard it was to put you in the ground;
Daddy cried, not wanting you to be alone,
So, next to his mother, a plot he found,
So we keep you close, though we know you're gone.
"Mommy, sweet Mommy, I'm Here; can't you see?
God wouldn't leave me in the cold, dark ground!
My Abba Daddy resurrected me,
Saying, 'You once were lost, but now you're found!'
"I'm not so different than the butterfly,
Who had to go deep into her cocoon,
To resurrect so she could start to fly,
But now she can fly higher than the moon!
"Maybe too, your 'darkness' is like a tomb
That sucks away your life as you're grieving me,
But perhaps it can also be a womb
That restores your life to fly more like me...!
"Spread your wings Mommy; see if you can fly ~
God enters into us who're lost without Him;
Living or dying, we're restored new life
Till we shine more beautif'ly, like the cut gem!
"I'll be here waiting for Daddy and you,
But 'til God is ready, let Him fly through you ~
He is in the Resurrection business;
You'll fly like me, as God is my witness!
"Allow yourself the darkness of your grief,
You'll need to go under to get your wings….
But then, like the butterfly, you'll find relief;
You'll sail like the wind that the Darkest Storm brings!
"Keep your eyes on God; He shines through the Dark;
You'll soon fly out too, singing with the lark!"
*****
If we live, we live to the Lord;
and if we die, we die to the Lord.
So, whether we live or die,
we belong to the Lord.
~Romans 14:8 (NIV)
He is not the God of the dead,
but of the living,
for to Him
all are alive.
~Luke 20:38
I'm Not Alright
Sanctus Real
If weakness is a wound
that no one wants to speak of
then "cool" is just how far we have to fall
and I am not immune
I only want to be loved
But I feel safe behind the fire wall
Can I lose my need to impress?
If You want the truth,
I need to confess
I'm not alright, I'm broken inside,
broken inside
And all I go through,
it leads me to You,
it leads me to You.
Burn away the pride
Bring me to my weakness
"Til everything I hide behind is gone
And when I'm open wide
with nothing left to cling to,
Only you are there to lead me on
Cause honestly, I'm not that strong.
I'm not alright, I'm broken inside,
broken inside
And all I go through,
it leads me to You,
it leads me to You
Closer to You
Closer to You
Closer to You
I'm not alright, I'm broken inside,
broken inside
Broken inside, broken inside
And all I go through leads me to You,
leads me to You
I'm not alright
I'm not alright
I'm not alright
That's why I need You
