There must be a butterfly heaven for butterflies are free of sin <br />And the keeper of the gates of heaven will allow them for to enter in <br />For to flit through the gardens of heaven and to dance in the sun and the wind <br />There must be a butterfly heaven if there is one for the human kind. <br /> <br />For butterflies of all shapes and colours for to flit around the flowering bushes and trees <br />In sunlit gardens where wild birds are singing and dance in the heavenly breeze <br />If there's a hereafter for a human there's a hereafter for a butterfly <br />For to live and enjoy life forever up there in a World in the sky. <br /> <br />If there is no butterfly heaven there is not a heaven at all <br />The butterflies of parks and gardens who are destined to die in the Fall <br />If they do not have a heaven to go to what chances for you or for i <br />Of living again in a hereafter have we been brought up on a lie? <br /> <br />There must be a butterfly heaven though religious zealots say no <br />That butterflies are soul-less life forms but one must ask would they know? <br />For to them we are not that different for us too there is a last day <br />And butterflies of sin are quite innocent and for them there is no need to pray.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/there-must-be-a-butterfly-heaven/
