flight of the butterfly

who gave the butterflies their wings of energy & dizzying flight?
who set the moon in place to shine by night?
who summoned the winds to create a stumbling tornado wrecking havoc?
who makes the stars twinkle above us in the night sky while we sleep?
who makes the blasting fury of volcanoes and their molten lava to fill the sky & earth?
who pieced together imperfection to create a man so small?
who gives us family to love and friends to laugh?
who fulfills the wondrous dreams of our heart that we dare not whisper?
who cherishes us, watches over us, & stands waiting when we push Him aside and ask for more?
who sees our every move, listens to our every unbreathed word & finishes our thoughts before we think them?
lingering with bated breath while we dream & plan on our own. whispering through tears, "you are my child. my love for you will never change."
