Come Sit By Me A While : Sweet Butterfly Of Mine.
Please come in and let us sit by Erin And Val's garden.
I had started to compose this hub when Dai phoned with some very sad news ;last year we worked together ;Dai driving and myself caring for Jasmin ( changed name for the purpose of this hub.)
She was sat in her wheelchair and couldn't talk or walk on her own;she was also fed through a tube.
However it didn't take me long to see the true person behind the disabilities and slowly but surely realised that there was much more for sweet Jasmine.We became so close and I learnt so much from this experience.However I was only filling in until the true carer trurned from a long illness;I knew this was going to come about but I really did miss this sweet angel when this actually came about..
Dai informed me on Monday that she had been taken to hospital and had to have her Appendix removed. This was done the very next day (Tuesday) but this morning about an hour ago Dai rang to let me know that she had passed away in the night.
I am still in shock but my heart goes out to her devoted family ;she was only fifteen year old and was one of three children;two girls and one boy.
They all idolised her and will miss her so much.
"Today's hub I dedicate this hub to Jasmine."
"R I P my sweet sweet angel."
Eddy.
Haiku : Sweet Butterfly.
One sweet butterfly
As soft as midnight whispers
Caressing colours.
Rictameter : Whispers.
Whispers
Fluttering high
Flowing on so sublime
Leaving life's Chrysalis behind
From a golden spirit of loveliness
Magical beauty from within
A heart of soft blossom
Singing softly
Whispers.
Acrostic ; Vivid Butterfly.
Butterfly your vivid aura
Under that sunshine of love
Tender to touch
To charm in eternal hope and care
Evening song a magical verse
Rhymes of love and compassion
Forever yes eternal
Lightly sings with a feather-like touch
You've set each spirit free.
Freeverse ; A Myriad Of Colours.
A myriad of colours
Warmth radiates
a soft sweet whipser
Light and tuneful.......................
Antenae exploration
Heart so loving so full
Great love well timed and shared in abundance....................
Tenderness and warmth
from a rainbow sky high
Dew diops in magical repose.................................
Nectar a magical aura
Clinging with great ease
Flying through the air
Filing each heart with joy..............................
That awesome nectar of love
Shared with all way up high
Softly shared in soft sweet sprinkles
Worlds of grateful prayers ; full of warmth ; to love;to share ; to care..................................
Freeverse ; On The Wings Of Love.
Flowers blosom on the wings of time
Instinct so oblivious so serene
Unconditional charms fill each meadow
In my heart so full of happiness and joy...................................
As free as each new born breeze
Flying up to heavens so high
An elusive butterfly
A beauty,a wonder,to behold...................................
The sad tides of time now spent
Paradise now beckons...................................
I rest my wings in a calmness almost serene
Life's nectar a leading trail
Through each path winding upwards and onwards
leading to the heart of paradise.................................
Life's precious rainbows
calm and serene
Absorb each colour each image from above
flying high in coy trepidation....................................
Each heart lifting
each picture soft and teasured
Butterfly of day and night
come fill my heart wiht pride...........................
A flowing mature velvet touch
toned as Autumn leaves of love................
A Butterfly Of Wonder.
As she rests on
her soft cloud of love;
Almost virginal the flight
of one pure white dove.

CHORUS.
I sit beside your garden
A sweet soft flutter;
Resting on my shoulder
A butterfly of wonder.
x
Wings gently flutter
in soundless magical bliss
A wondrous emotion
so loving a kiss.
x
CHORUS.
I sit beside your garden
Feeling a soft flutter;
And resting on my shoulder
A butterfly of golden wonder.
x
So enchanted yet so daring
Very fragile yes so strong;
In this haven's beauty so clear
Oh yes to love to belong.
x
CHORUS.
I sit beside your garden
A sweet soft flutter;
Resting on my shoulder
A butterfly of wonder.
x
That warm and caressing breath
As she whispers in my ear;
"Your world will always be full
Of a deep heartfelt wonder."
x
CHORUS.
I sit beside your garden
A sweet soft flutter;
Resting on my shoulder
A butterfly of wonder.
x
From my being rushed a warmth;
Enveloped in life's enchantment;
I knew my baby you were safe
Yes so happy so content.
x
CHORUS.
I sit beside your garden
A sweet soft flutter;
Resting on my shoulder
A butterfly of wonder.
x
Live your life Mother dear
I am now free of pain;
You now have your legacy
and Bill's wondrous campaign.
x
CHORUS.
I sit beside your garden
A sweet soft flutter;
Resting on my shoulder
A butterfly of wonder.
x
Today I also have work
Looking after babes in heaven;
You are surrounded by beauty
As you sit by our sweet haven.
x
CHORUS.
I sit beside your garden
A sweet soft flutter;
Resting on my shoulder
A butterfly of wonder.
x
I fly around in Sunshine
Each day I see you gain;
Your mission now to help others
To cope with their own pain.
x
CHORUS.
I sit beside your garden
A sweet soft flutter;
Resting on my shoulder
A butterfly of wonder.
x
Now I must return
To my world happy and clear;
Little ones my soul protects
Each one I love so dear.
x
CHORUS.
I sit beside your garden
A sweet soft flutter;
Resting on my shoulder
A butterfly of wonder.
Freeverse : Love's Free Essence.
With an honest look back at life
A chapter now faced with honest heart
I cares each new birth
Serenity filling each nook and cranny
A beauty absorbed
in the life that time forgot
A story through the ages
A winner so bright
For the awesome strength
of one golden Butterfly.
My baby my angel so divine
You gather a wondrous presence;
Each angel sprinkled
With loves eternal essence.
Rhyme : That Bird Of Love.
Each day I move on
As I sit by your side.
The door to my heart
Always open so wide.
x
Oh my sweet baby
From your home up above;
With a soul so beautiful
Carried by the bird of love.
x
Lost is not a word I store
In my grieving healing heart
You are closer than ever
Right here in my heart.
X
Jasmine’s soul is captured
By each warm heart above.
Disabilities are non-existent
No judgements, only love.

Oh Pearl what a wonderful comment and as always it means so very much indeed.I love your words on a butterfly and share your beautiful theory. Here's to so many more hubs for us both to share on here for a long time to come. Havea wonderful day my dear friend.
Eddy.
Dear Eddy, you have had much sadness lately. But you always manage to turn it into beautiful and inspiring tributes. You saw the lovely soul that was trapped inside such a young body. My grandmother once told me, and it has stuck with me ever since, that if you see a butterfly, it is an angel in disguise. If you see a butterfly soon after a dear soul has passed, it is most probably that person letting you know they are okay!
Voted this Up+ my loving friend,
Pearl

For someone who has not experienced romance for a very long time, these verses bring me to the reality that Perfect Love and Serenity do exist. Just look at all Creation and meditate on its beauty and you can see elegance and peace. The music has to be ethereal, flowing and soft, just like the images you place here. Thank you for inviting me to share in that experience.
Perhaps your friend who this hub is dedicated to is experiencing now the rest she now deserves and these images here in this hub have become the decor in her new home.

Eddy my heart goes out to this child. Such a wonderful tribute and such lovely pictures. I have been off line for awhile with connection problems. But I am back and send you lots of warm wishes and hugs. It reminds me of a wonderful song called My Butterfly. Lots of love from me.
The butterfly is a vibrant, yet delicate creature, and you have captured it well in this ode to it. Thanks for sharing, Eddy!
I read this beautiful and awesome hub thanks to sharing by mary615.
I felt so sad at the loss of a young life and for the bereaved family she left behind. But I am also happy that you dedicated this hub to her.
The poems are worth writing in gold. Very creative and original thought indeed.
Eddy, these poems are gems on a necklace, difficult to determine which one is the best.
Your poetry is beautiful and profound.
Have a great weekend.
I'm sorry, Eddy. What a beautiful tribute to a girl who died too young.
Your beautiful words just take my breath away. This poor child! I feel so bad for the loving family she left behind. You were fortunate to have known her even for a short time
Voted UP, and shared.
Eiddwen...Beautifully written tribute to one so young..and the reference of the life of a Butterfly..so profound, as they their process of becoming takes longer than their actual existence...very prolific ..thanks for sharing ....
Oh, Eddy..this is just too awful! and from an appendix operation yet...
don't they do those all day long???
i am beyond words for her lost potential and for her loved one's loss - and yours!
life sure isn't fair...sigh..
i'm so sorry..
Eddy, this is so beautiful and I feel so badly that you've lost another earthen soul. My heart hurts for you and her family. The redemption is we have another sweet angel looking over us and guiding your poetry.
God Bless You, my sweet Eddy!

Hi DJ thank you so much for this comment.
It is indeed so sad and now she is at peace with all the other you angels from Heaven where disabilities do not exist;a soul to fly freely with my Val and Erin and also every single person we have lost .Lost is not a word I use because my angels are safe in my heart as I know all yours are also.
Thank you again DJ and this comment so appreciated.
Take care
Eddy.
So very, very sorry for this loss. My heart goes out to her family and to you. What a very beautiful tribute you wrote to memorialize "Jasmine's" brief but touching life. I hope her family finds comfort in your lovely words. Thank you for sharing this with us. Up+ my friend
Eddy, it is so kind of you to write such a beautiful tribute to this young teen. I believe we come into this world with a spirit to touch other lives.
We think we are helping others, but in many cases, it is us who have been touched by this tiny spirit....it is us who have been blessed.
A beautiful tribute to your little friend, Jasmine.

Thank you so much as always Sunnie ;she was such a little sweetie and how cruel life can be at times.However we have to remember that there is still sunshine and serenity;we simply have to look a little further. I wish you a great day my very dear friend.
Lots of love
Eddy.
So sorry to hear about Jasmine and so sad for her family. Prayers for her family and for you.
I really do not have words to express my feelings after reading this. So sweet yet so much full with tragedy. The whole collection is some thing really sublime like the sweet soul. But God's child returns to home to be happy. A true tribute the lost soul from among us but there the butterfly is flying among myriad hues. You are a genius to express this piece in such rhythm. Thank you for sharing this one and I am sharing too. Votes all ++++++++
Thank you Deborah, for hinting to me that this would be a great song. Eiddwen,
This is a very special tribute and beautiful, too. So sensitive you are. I will give you full credit if you would like me to put it into a song.
Oh My heart is breaking for this sweet precious child.. but she is with Jesus.. so sad for the ones she left behind but now she can walk and laugh and play on the streets of gold... my dearest friend you have wrote the most beautiful memorial poem for this child it should be a song.. I love how everyehting comes from your heart.
You are so gracious and loving towards the human race.
God bless you
Do you know Christina M. Castro? she takes words to poems and makes it into music and sings it on YOU TUBE.. this song would be perfect.. I will give her the link.. maybe you two can talk..

Debbie
It's very sad to hear the passing of a young life. Even if she was trapped in her body, she was able to convey who she really was and communicate her feelings. I am sure she is watching down here on Earth and she is flying like a butterfly with no limitation now.
Receive my thoughts and prayers for you, Dai and her family.
Thank you for writing such a nice tribute in memory of Jasmin! I love your choice of pictures as always!
Joelle
God bless Eddy. I'm sure the Lord has welcomed Jasmine with open arms and her "Magical beauty from within" as you have so aptly described is now transformed into that beautiful, healthy butterfly!
Voted up, awesome, and beautiful.
Eddy this was a beautiful tribute filled with light and love that only you can do in your very special way. May God be with you and this angels family as they say goodbye but knowing she is no longer bound by her chair but an angel in flight.
Love you,
Sunnie

Oh thank you so very much Shauna and I know that each comment on here will also mean a great deal to her family.

Eddy, I just read your "That Blue Lagoons Of Life" there the color-scheme was in the hues of blue and turquoise. Now, I entered into an amazing world of golden warm colors. You have a wonderful gift of turning your hubs into beautiful art. This is such a sweet and loving tribute to your sweet angel, Jasmine. My thoughts and prayers are going out to her and her family.
Thank you.
God bless,
