2025 Day 5: Butterflies, Roses, and Departures

Butterflies, Roses, and Departures
By Penelope Olive
 
Peace is hard,
when the butterflies are gone,
and we long for their return.
Lord, have mercy.
 
When they leave,
fluttering so far away,
the roses grow limp and fade.
Lord, Have mercy.
 
Departures
are hard for those who remain,
yet the hope of spring shall come.
Lord, have mercy.
 
 
Prompt:
Lord have mercy; hymn; roses butterflies departures
