Butterfly Wishes

We sit with the angels

before we are born,

and mend all the butterfly wings

that are torn.

We line them up carefully

on a large dish,

and send them back as "earth angels"

so on them we can wish.

I was granted one wish

while I was up there,

so I wished for a mother

who would love me and care.

For wishes made on butterflies

always come true,

I know this is so…

..’cause I wished for you!

Apart from the ,,,cause (I felt you should have kept it because - to abbreviate seems unnecessary to me) this is great. Smooth flow great imagination and beautiful sentiments expressed here - I like the title 'Butterfly Wishes' it works really well here. Kaz It's impossible to smile on the outside without feeling better on the inside.
