The Forgotten Wild

In the pew I heard you

As light shimmers through

Glass stained windows

Choir music filled the air

Something changed and the memory that life isn't fair

Brought tears to my eyes

My sisters have husbands

Where is mine

My sisters have a child

I am just the forgotten wild flower

Recharging by sun power

I have no complaint

Sometimes I just wonder because i wanted the same

I grew up and discovered for me everything had a change

My papa was gone

I cried out to him but there was no answer to his name

All I had were the tears that fell on the page

Of the mass song sheet

All I could hear now was the frantic thumping of my heart beat

I felt all alone

I was drowning in fright

Clouds blocked my sight

This tunnel blocked the light

Till the priest gave the final blessing

All the prayers we were sending

Were caught by the most divine of all

He sat beside me and wiped my tears

Whispers I heard said there is nothing to fear

This is the path for you

Nothing I could do can make it any less true

We love and we lose

We learn along the way

As I left the pew and stepped out of the church in to Sunday

i found the sun was there to guide my way

It lead me to a nursery with beautiful plants and flowers

I saw a butterfly

I knew then my papa my angel was there still by my side

In the wind, through the breeze on butterfly wings and free....

Still in my heart eternally...
