Butterflies and Bluebirds
Another little girl I prayed
Is what I really need
Two boys I already have
No more required-Indeed!
For girls are soft and full of curls
With dresses lined in ruffles,
Bats and balls and boyish things
Aren't needed in their duffles
They're butterflies and bluebirds
Who light up their beauteous spaces,
Who light up their beauteous spaces,
And all the world around them
Wear smiles upon their faces
And Lo! the wish was granted
Number four was not a laddie
A precious wee-little lass she was
And forever loved by Daddy.
(Written on the occasion of my baby girl's birthday in 2019. Sweet Amy.)
Who wrote the poem "Butterflies and Bluebirds"?
ReplyDeleteI wrote it for my baby girl on her birthday last week (Sept 7th). She was going to be the final child we had and I already had two boys, so I prayed for a little girl and God answered my prayer.
DeleteYou are so talented! I thought you might have copied it out of a poem book somewhere. I really enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteI have always had the gift of rhyme
DeleteIt sometimes takes a little time
When love's the source that drives your words
I oft translate the verse to birds
If I had more time, I could create another little jewel, or as Cheryl says "a literary masterpiece".
LOL - glad you enjoyed it.
