Beauty can not be used to describe her
for the word would not do her justice
light, kind loving and fair
I wish it wouldn't be taken away

and although we love her so
it would be wrong to ask her to stay
keeping her from the place
where her time has come to go

it will be hard to say goodbye
and to not shed a tear as I watch them cry
not many days left
until the beautiful butterfly
sets off into the distant horizon
