The Butterfly Song
The Butterfly Song
The butterfly sang
The day your journey ended
Passing through the birth canal
September 16, 2008
Daddy cut the cord
That connected you to mommy
Breathing on your own you came
7:25 Tuesday morning
God breathe life into your body
Flipping the switch
Taking your first breathe
You cried in daddy’s ears
No more waiting
For the happy occasion
Branden’s boy, grandma’s joy
Mama’s baby, granddad boast
God's glory, the angels applause
the boy love produced and God created
The butterfly sang
The day your journey ended
Passing through the birth canal

Daddy cut the cord
That connected you to mommy
Breathing on your own you came
7:25 Tuesday morning
God breathe life into your body
Flipping the switch
Taking your first breathe
You cried in daddy’s ears
No more waiting
For the happy occasion
Branden’s boy, grandma’s joy
Mama’s baby, granddad boast
God's glory, the angels applause
the boy love produced and God created
