we put our hearts to the sky like butterflies soaring hope
we are still those same butterflies
perhaps needing cocoons for a moment
until we find our flight again
grateful for every beautiful soul and friend finding here
may peace be within, with and find you, always

what a wonderful day to highlight!
Thank you!

Kindness will be your guide
Put a little love in your heart
And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place
For you and me
You just wait and see..."
