Born into confusion
At least that’s how it often seems
Born into a world so large
Born a child of dreams
Hopeful that there’d be a way
That you could find to thrive
But so much doubt and fear along the way
So much to cope with and survive
What they always seem to tell you
Is to seek what’s better every day
To always find the perfect answers
Perhaps to find the perfect way
Avoiding people’s disappointment
Is what you’d always seek to do
To be admired and to make it
To be the most successful you
But who is it that you get to be
As you try to make it every day
Could you ever truly be at peace
When pretending is your way
But I can promise you my butterfly
That there shall be another way
You were never born to make it
Or to struggle through the day
Your life has no dilemma
No conflict in your destiny
It’s now time for transformation
That is why you’ve come to me
All wounds now to be healed
No scars to linger and remain
All demons of the past
Never to threaten you again
Fear of exposing who you really are
Need limit you no more
The passion of your broken heart
That you can now restore
The confusion of the past
No more to dominate your view
An inspired viewpoint offered
To inform that which you be and have and do
A lovely soaring butterfly
Is what you were always born to be
You know the caterpillar’s viewpoint
But there is so much more for you to see
From your ascended open viewpoint
There’s so much more to see and be
From your ascended viewpoint
Witness your grandest destiny
Life’s endless possibilities
Merely a field in which you play
No need for you to ever justify
What you can do and be each day
Your mind no more need dictate
What will be possible each day
Your intellect just an instrument
Used by your heart and soul at play
Your passion for nature’s wonders
For life so pure and grand and whole
The miracle of life itself
Finds refuge in your soul
My lovely, lovely butterfly
Is what you were always born to be
And when I’m in your splendid presence
That is all that I can see
