I watched a butterfly today
And found myself thinking of you . . . 
Wanting for you to feel the freedom of the wind . . .
To experience the beauty of the flowers . . .
The strength of the ocean . . .
And the warmth of a trusting friend.

I know you think I want these things for you because I love you.
Perhaps that's true . . . because . . . I do.

But, mostly it's because, in knowing you I have found
The freedom of the wind . . .
In your eyes, I have discovered the beauty of the flowers . . .
Holding your hand, I feel the strength of the ocean . . .

And, in loving you I have felt the warmth of a trusting friend.

If, by chance, we go our separate ways, I will not be sad . . .
As long as I know that I (if only in some small way)
Have given you a reason for Seeking . . . Growing . . .
Sharing . . . Trusting . . . and Loving . . .
