Every time I see a yellow
Butterfly, it reminds me
Of you.

Your smile,
Your laugh.
Your kindness will forever
Haunt my happiest of
Memories with you.
I miss you.

Every yellow butterfly I see
At the beach, I think your there,
Watching us have fun, not
Weeping over your loss

Every yellow butterfly I see
At home, I imagine your
Visiting us, happy to move
Freely from pain

Every yellow butterfly I see
At a family event, I imagine
You see the family together,
At peace, not crying of your
Departure from us.

I miss you,
Your smile
Your laugh
Your kindness
Is replaced by the
Flapping of a delicate yellow
Butterfly
Free

Your soul is free,
Your soul is as pure as a
Yellow butterfly
Everyone misses you.
I miss you
