Welcome To The Butterfly Garden

Butterfly Wishes

Yesterday a butterfly
Came floating gently through the sky.
He soared up through the atmosphere
Then drifted close enough to hear.

I said, "I'd love to fly with you
And sail around the way you do.
It looks like it would be such fun
To fly up toward the summer sun.

But I have not your graceful charm.
I haven't wings, just these two arms.
I've been designed to walk around.
My human feet must touch the ground.

Then magically he spoke to me
and told me what his wish would be.

He said, "What I'd love most to do
Is walk upon God's Earth with you,
To squish it's mud between my toes
Or touch my finger to my nose.

I'd love just once to walk around
With human feet to touch the ground,
But I have not two legs that swing,
I haven't arms, just these two wings."

And so we went our separate ways
In wonder and surprise.
For we'd both seen God's precious gifts
Through someone else's eyes.

Comment by kim giardino on April 29, 2008 at 10:46pm: Hello everyone. This is an awesome site. So glad to be here. Altho I don't have Lupus, I share in some small way by the healings that I have done thru the years as a Healer/Minister/Massage Therapist and LifeCoach. My husband has neuropathy that is so painful, its heart breaking.
If each one of us who are on the site and share, can get even a small amount of joy thru sharing, this is so wonderful. May all who read be uplifted even for a few!!!! Blessings to you all.....KimG

Comment by Debbi Lewis on March 28, 2008 at 7:33am: I can't begin to understand anyone's pain. I am not stricken with either of these devestating diseases. However I do have Parkinson's which is very devestating to me and my family and on most parts I guess I can relate a little to what some of you are going through. If at any point any of you feel that I am not getting any of what you are trying to convey, please let me know and I will be more than happy to drop out of the group. I know what it's like to be around people that really don't understand your disease. I will not be offended. Thank you Kim for accepting me into your group and I hope to bring some sort of sunshine into our lives. GOD bless.
