BUTTERFLIES

Butterflies aren't bullets. You don't fire em, you just let them go

Butterfly Kisses by Bob Carlisle

There's two things I know for sure:
She was sent here from heaven and she's daddy's little girl.
As I drop to my knees by her bed at night
She talks to Jesus and I close my eyes
and I thank god for all of the joy in my life
Oh, but most of all

For butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer;
sticking little white flowers all up in her hair;
"Walk beside the pony, Daddy, it's my first ride."
"I know the cake looks funny, Daddy, but I sure tried."
Oh, with all that I've done wrong, I must have done

something right To deserve a hug every morning And

butterfly kisses at night.

Sweet 16 today
She's looking like her mama a little more everyday
One part woman, the other part girl.
To perfume and make-up from ribbons and curls
Trying her wings out in a great big world.
But I remember.....

Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer;
sticking little white flowers all up in her hair.
"You know how much I love you, Daddy,
But if you don't mind I'm only gonna kiss you on

the cheek this time."
Oh with all that I've done wrong I must have

done something right
to deserve her love every morning and butterfly

kisses at night.

All the precious time
Like the wind, the years go by.
Precious butterfly.
Spread your wings and fly.

She'll change her name today.
She'll make a promise and I'll give her away.
Standing in the bride-room just staring at her.
She asked me what I'm thinking and I said
"I'm not sure-I just feel like I'm losing my baby girl."
She leaned over

Gave me butterfly kisses with her mama there,
Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair
"Walk me down the aisle, Daddy-it's just about time."
"Does my wedding gown look pretty, Daddy?

Daddy, don't cry"
Oh, with all that I've done wrong I must have

done something right. To deserve her love every

morning and butterfly kisses

I couldn't ask God for more, man this is what love is.
I know I gotta let her go, but I'll always remember
Every hug in the morning and butterfly kisses...

Sentence Prayer

Father

Your beauty is perfect, Every butterfly, every sunrise and sunrise is a reminder of Your splendor.  But the greatest reminder of your fearful beauty is our sons and daughters, as we hold them may we spontaneously worship You.  When the butterflies need to leave may we simply let them go, trusting in your perfect care. Amen R.M.
