As you release this butterfly in honor of me,

Know that I’m with you and will always be,

Hold a hand, say a prayer,

Close your eyes and see me there,

Although you may feel a bit torn apart,

Please know that I’ll be forever in your heart

Now fly away butterfly as high as you can go,

I’m right there with you more than you know.
