September’s Butterfly Sometimes in September, When the sun is sitting high A warm Fall breeze will steal the leaves, and cause the trees to cry Sometimes in September, a butterfly will appear A cherished thought, a battle fought for one you loved so dear Sometimes in September, a mother will pass away You wallow in grief, seek relief and then you learn to pray Sometimes in September, an angel gets her wings It’s good and bad but always sad, both joy and pain this brings Sometimes in September, a family must say goodbye As Heaven awaits to open its gates To September’s butterfly
