You were here yesterday
Today you are gone
Tomorrow i cannot face
I cannot go on
Like the butterfly
You flew away
Leaving life behind you
Leaving me that day
You gave me a promise
When you landed on my palm
That wherever you may be
You’ll always look out for me
With that promise made
You fluttered away
Always remembered
In memory, in love
In laughter, in soul
You were here yesterday
Today you are gone
Tomorrow i shall face
I will make you proud to go on
This was for my Grandpa, who died suddenly on the 3rd of March 2012. On the day of his death I was walking and a butterfly fluttered straight toward me and landed on my palm , fluttered its wings for a few minutes and then flew off.
