I saw you standing there

In your hospital gown

When the doctors said

It would only be a matter of time

My soul was like glass that day

Shattering into a million pieces

I know you barely remembered me

The amnesia taking over your brain

I can still feel your pain

I know you're in heaven now,

Part of the Church Triumphant now,

But am I crazy to think

That I feel you watching over me?

I hope that when I'm all grown up

That I'll be just like you one day

Maybe I will join you someday

7 years have passed by now,

I'm graduating high school now,

And as I walk onto the podium

I can see, in the far corner of my eye,

A monarch butterfly
