A Breeze and a Butterfly

A Breeze and a Butterfly

by JeromeProphet

The rhymes have escaped

The words have run away

These feelings persist

And I've got something to say

Within my heart this truth

I can no longer hide

The answers to the questions

I dare not ask why

Like why I love her madly so.

And why I still insist

This love of ours in flames a glow

Is worth everything we risk

My love you read my words now

You know our love is true

Our careless love knows no Hows

One day you'll say 'I do'

Our pain will be over then

Vanquished with our sin

We rushed where Angels feared to tread

Yet our love's not crushed by them

And now we're tangled you and I

We're lovers like the moon and sky

You and I were meant to be

It's undeniable to see

The secret truth of our love

Is not held in the heart of a dove

No what we are is far from that

Perhaps the Cheshire cat

For we are to each other

Something we can get from no others

We are like a breeze and a butterfly

Flying fragile and fierce into the high

Senator Edward Kennedy Dead At 77

Having been raised a Catholic in the 1960s I can say that I recall asking my parents who "we" were for in the upcoming Illinois 1968 presidential Primary. I was told Bobby Kennedy. Well we all knew what happened there. I remember being awoken to my mother, and sister crying over the breaking news that Robert Kennedy had been assassinated.

And years later I asked my mother about the day John F. Kennedy was assassinated and she told me I broke down crying because everyone else in the house was crying. I was just a little kid then, but I must have sensed that anything so important as to bring the adults to tears was worthy of my own.

As the years past the tabloids kept the Kennedy family, and Jacki O in the spotlight, and I watched them from afar - feeling a bit guilty in the process. But as I learned more about the remarkable Kennedy family, and their history I realized I was witnessing history.

I've always been a Kennedy fan.

I've seen this family survive one tragedy after another, and yet survive. And they will go on.

God Bless You Teddy, and thank you for all the good things you have done for this nation.
