Red dress, modern cut, a nod to tradition. Not gaudy, not simple, a balance found. Her hand, offered, a father's blessing unspoken. Pride mixed with sorrow, a future he won't see. Love, honor, cherish, the groom's vow, a solemn oath. Protection promised, a father's final duty. Tears fall freely, a river of emotions. Vows exchanged, a seal on a lifetime's journey. The kiss, a declaration, a new chapter begins. Then, a flutter, a swarm of butterflies descends. One lands on her nose, a Blue-Spotted Crow, rare and bold. Wings unfurl, a vibrant blue against her pale skin. A message, a whisper, a father's presence felt. She raises a finger, the butterfly shifts its perch. A silent conversation, a daughter's tribute. Prosperity whispered, protection assured. Love remains, eternal, a bond unbreakable. The Blue-Spotted Crow, a constant, enduring reminder. The gesture, her father, The promise, prosperity, The honor, protection, The Love, forever.

Tears of the Butterfly (2025)
I Remember Who You are The Strength Of God Cannot be Too far Away I will always Promise And vow Your safety Forever Butterflies Flapping their wings wide Continue to remain Mysterious things Sea otters dance For you And so Do wolves So when I hunger I hunt For you I hunt For your soul To remember Do you Will you These will always Remain Father Mother Sister Brother Do you know How beautiful you are Your face Is His face His creation Do you know How blessed You are But vanities Do not Always last Please let us try To celebrate The past I know And feel We can pull thru We can make miracles Me and you
