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

The Butterfly
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.
