Butterflies and Roses

Butterflies & Roses
by kenny merrell

As a child my Mother told me
Of Angels in Heaven above
And how they sent the butterfly
To tell us of their love
How heaven would protect us
Locked within their arms
And someday they would direct us
To our soul mate full of charms
My angel walks the earth
I see her standing there
Beauty ingrained within
Light shining on her hair
I give her this bouquet of roses
To proclaim an undying love
And thank my guardian angel
In heaven up above

An Evening At Sunset

An Evening At Sunset

An evening at sunset
Sitting in the garden
Sun slowly diminishing
Streaks of red and orange fill the sky
Shadows emerging
Quietness prevails
Time for gentle reflection
As time slows and evening falls
Where will we travel
In solitudes comforting caress
When will we be called
Returning to God's nest
Time on earth, fleeting
Praying for guidance, divine
Needing you in my arms
For comfort sublime
Years upon years
All in their place
Each day a day of love and comfort
Each day a day of grace
