A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam,
And for a brief moment its glory and beauty belong to our world.
But then it flies on again, and though we wish it would have stayed,
We feel so lucky to have seen it at all.

We held you in our arms for only a little while,
But we will hold you in our hearts forever.
