In the enchanted forest of a magical land lives a butterfly pure and sweet.
All of the creatures from all around come to her field to eat.
She stops to smell the wildflowers and talks to everyone.
She loves to spread her wings and fly in the rays of the midday sun.
********************************************************************************************
Her kindness is known from near to far and everywhere in between.
No one can escape the enchanting gifts of the beautiful butterfly queen.
Her magical wand is all powerful and she waves it with a smile
Fixing hurts and granting dreams all in her fabulous style.
********************************************************************************************
One day a broken down horse came to ask her to use her powers
To make him a fabulous racing machine who could run on and on for hours.
She twirled her wand and he soon became the studliest horse around.
She waved goodbye as he galloped off hoping his happiness was found.
********************************************************************************************
Soon he returned to her field broken down after winning a race.
He laid down in the meadow while the butterfly cleaned the mud from his face.
He told her his wish wasn’t what he’d expected as he raced on day after day.
She told him that many free wishes were granted but there was always a price to be paid.
********************************************************************************************
“Excellence doesn’t come cheaply.” she said as she placed wildflowers into his mane.
She told him of her own struggles and that she had to learn how to begin again.
She said, “Sometimes life gets dark like you’re living inside of a cave.
But, wait till the darkness is over…hold on and just be brave.”
********************************************************************************************
“In my darkest moments in life, when I wanted to be free
and I was trapped in a very dark place all alone high up in a tree
I screamed for someone to help me out of the dark place I was in
But the struggle made me beautiful and stronger than I would have been.”
********************************************************************************************
“So be strong and brave when you run your race and don’t be afraid of tears.
Just know that every champion has had to overcome their own fears.”
With that the horse trotted on to his home just a little bit down the road.
The bounce in his step was back once again and he felt no heavy load.
********************************************************************************************
The butterfly queen still floats on the breeze ruling from her cloudlike throne.
She dances with dragonflies all the day long in their magical forest home.
She still grants wishes freely with love and always cheerfully with pleasure.
She always holds her wisdom back as she grants what each wisher treasures.
********************************************************************************************
At the end of the day when they all come to play in her field so vast and free
They always share their stories of the things they had wished to be.
The lesson they learn is a simple truth about loving life and it’s journey.
The butterfly shows through perfect example how life’s struggles can lead us to beauty.
********************************************************************************************
Struggle and pain will come to us all but the lesson for us rings true…
Will you scream for someone to help you out of the cave that makes you so blue?
Or will you put in the effort to go through the change that life has brought your way?
Will you become the butterfly to help others spread their own wings someday?
********************************************************************************************
The magical butterfly queen is the perfect example of hope.
She sparkles in the sunlight while through the clouds she floats.
She reminds us to treasure life’s journey that teaches us to try.
And she shows us through her courage how to overcome struggle and fly.
