Fly Little Butterfly

I look up at the sky,
so blue, so bright,
so full of air, so full of life,
wind blows with such might,

A beautiful butterfly,
starts to take flight,
emerged from its hidden place,
filling the world with grace,

Fly little butterfly,
to the heavens, up high,
in shades of purple,
with such great purpose,

Soar with the wind,
your beauty will never dim,
we’ll remember in kind,
our hearts forever grim,

But we will carry your dreams,
to find the cure for all,
united with all our means,
we will never let you fall,

So fly little butterfly,
to the heavens, up high,
you did your best,
and we’ll do the rest.
