Mothers Day & Fathers Day

The celebration of Mother’s Day and Father’s day has become part of our lives. The chance to reflect, of the blessings provided by them to us over the years. It is our opportunity at least once a year to say thank you and to remind them they are still loved and in our daily thoughts and lives. On these occasions we come together as a family and bring our gifts of thanks. A butterfly being released by a mother and a father reminds them of the time they set you free to fly into the world and to find your way. The butterfly being released reminds them too of your beauty and love. You will always be Daddies little girl or Mommies little boy in their hearts. “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 again. And though we wish it could have stayed, we feel so lucky to have seen it.”

Poems

The butterfly’s attractiveness derives not only from colors and symmetry: deeper motives contribute to it. We would not think them so beautiful if they did not fly, or if they flew straight and briskly like bees, or if they stung, or above all if they did not enact the perturbing mystery of metamorphosis: the latter assumes in our eyes the value of a badly decoded message, a symbol, a sign.

~Primo Levi

“Like a butterfly emerges, And unfolds its graceful wings,
A marriage grows and it develops, With the love each partner brings.
Your flight through life together, Is what you make it, so reach high
Spread your wings and learn to soar, As if with wings of a butterfly
Share together life’s great adventure, Now the two of you are one

Shower your lover with butterfly kisses, Your infinite journey has just begun
Be a lover, friend and playmate, Learn to listen, laugh and cry
God has given you your wings, But, you teach each other how to fly.”

~ Written by Larry James

Quotes

The green grass and the happy skies, court the fluttering butterflies.
