The butterflies in the garden know what they're doing. Their purpose is true, they don't falter or doubt. How I envy them dear Lord! So subtle and devious is the misstep. I get off the track so easily. Doing things my way. Then the anxiety kicks in. I know the answer, that's to pray, constantly, to cling to you, surrender everything, and instant Peace is mine. 02 |

Dear Ellie, You've hit another bulls-eye with this one, We can learn even from the butterflies, how to stay on course and get the job done without complicating things by having to do things "our way" and ignoring the simplicity of the task once we are commited to it. Thanks for sharing this gem. Dennis :^) |

To me your the Butterfly Lady- Your Butterfly poems touch my heart I like you more as a person So constant-no flutter and dart You have such a beautiful presence For which you ne'er need leave the ground- By which you uplift our Spirits- Yes the Butterfly Lady I've found!!! Your Friend, David |

Oh Ellie this is so soft and beautiful. What a wonderful way to remember what need to be done. Each time I see a little butterfly I will think of this peaceful poem. Thanks Ellie. Bonnie |

Ellie how true. I often think of that when I watch the birds, or hear them sing. I always think of them as singing constant praise to God. They never worry what they'll eat or where it's coming from. What a wonderful thought you have given me! Thank you!!! ![]() <*\\\>< God does have a sense humor. Just take a look at the platypus! [This message has been edited by WhtDove (edited 06-01-2000).] |
