The Day You Left

The day you left I caught my breath;
It was hard to see you go
My little brother has gone away;
How this life forces one to grow

I say a prayer for you each day
That you’ll be safe and find your way
For we are here on earth to learn
Don’t let what others think;
be of your concern

The path that God has planned for you
You will not know; until this life is through
Believe you’re where you need to be
And accept your role with dignity

Too many times we get caught up
On roads that lead us in a rut
Quiet you mind and focus within
You are being watched over,
Hold up your chin

When your faith is low and your hands are tied
And you want to believe will you survive
Though it seems you are alone
Then you look at how much you’ve grown

In times of doubt you can’t deny
You’re protected by the Butterfly
