Wow! I love the story behind the poem. This is an incredible minute poem. The use of such vivid descriptions takes the reader there. I love how you have set it on the mantle of memory as a token of love between you and your grandson. A priceless memory give n by the smallest of things. Such a wonderful piece and the perfect artwork to compliment it. Best wishes in the contest.

What a wonderfully expressed sentiment in Minute form, Cynthia.
I don't know about you, but I believe in both good signs and bad omens.
You and your beloved grandson obviously experienced the first.
Well done.
Best wishes to you in the contest.

You have written a lovely poem on a beautiful topic.
The rhyme and rhythm are perfect and so is the picture you've chosen.

What a beautiful expression of a clearly influential moment between you and your grandson. These points in time are irretrievable physically however the memories perpetuate. Great work.

This is a sweet poem honoring this magical memory. To me. butterflies are true messengers. They've encouraged me when I felt hopeless, inspired me when I needed answers, and gave comfort when I grieved lose loved ones.
