A soul so pure, a heart so kind, A butterfly's essence, now enshrined, In every gentle flutter of wings, The beauty of your spirit sings.
A beacon of hope, in times of despair, A loving presence, always there, The wind beneath our fragile wings, A melody of love, your memory brings.
Through every storm, you held us near, In your cocoon, no need to fear, A great person, a soul so rare, A butterfly's touch, forever we'll wear.
