A Butterfly from Sarah
LORI M. DUNNE
Sarah’s picture big and bright
butterfly wings set for flight
beneath the colours that vary
lies the sad truth of the unhappily married
Laying there in her dark room
we all wonder if she will bloom
crying and frightened late at night
as she listens to them fight
Now she’s married with a girl of her own
and she nervously sits by the phone
hugging the cord with all her might
we all wonder if she make it through another fight
Oh, my daughter blond hair blue eyes
very smart, and full of smiles
your heart so pure, your spirit free
we will walk out of this picture “just you and me.”
