This is lovely

So touching, soulful and moving. What a lovely tribute.

Ming what a beautiful tribute and accolade for those children and not forgetting the adults who didn’t have a choice and life was taken so brutally. My daughters husbands family experienced this terrible attrocity and lost family members. I stand up and applaud you my friend for “My Butterflies” Well done and Thank You! – David

This is a beautiful tribute to those lives lost at the holocoust, but especially to the children, who are innocent of all of attrocities of wars caused by the very adults in the governments who are suppossed to protect their people and respect the rights of others even if they are not of their nationality, ethnic group or have their own religious ideas. To use butterflies as a symbol was a beautiful inspiration because personally I love them, they are beautiful, harmless and free.

You say you wrote this to sooth your soul, but in doing so you also soothed the soul of many others, because many people have the holocoust in their memories, even if they were not involved in it personally or had not lost relatives to it. History and the stories of the horrors is what mostly effected all of us and have left us feeling as you do. So when writing this poem you triggered a piece of pain in the souls fo everyone who know the story of the holocoust. So your Butterflies, innocent enough are flying free to space and into the hearts of all of us. All of your butterflies are welcomed in my heart.

Also, may the butterflies be a reminder that this should never happen again in the future.

Butterflies flying free in space
children running free on earth
may butterflies and children become as one
a time to play, to laugh and rejoice.
Let the butterlies fly free
let the children be
Let the world catch the spirit in them
and with their laughter and joy the world will be at peace.
Yes let the children be protected
from evil that drive some men
so butterflies will stay happyly on earth
to the end of time. Amen

Oh, I hope you don’t mind this poem I wrote. But you and your butterflies inspired me to write it. I’m sorry if you don’t like it. Please tell me so. It’s just that I got carried away with my emotions on this topic and wanted to give it a tribute to it on my behalf with a poem.

ming this is so sweet

I’m glad you liked it. Maybe you could just copy it for your own personal use or put it along side your comment, but don’t add that I wrote it, it’s just a gift from me to you. Remember, the inspiration came from your piece. Iris.

beautiful writing MM

this is awesome and so thoughtful….

This defiantly hit a soft spot in me, it’s very thoughtful and heartfelt! Thank you for dedicating it to the innocent children who perished in the Holocaust!

This is a very poignant and moving piece Ming. A lost generation of beautiful children. We should never, ever forget what happened and make sure it never happens again. :))
