You fought such a grueling war
This was not what children were created for
You should be here with your sister and brothers
Playing and laughing like all of the others

You are my butterfly, angel baby
How I miss and love you
Everything I see makes me think of you and cry.

Butterfly Angel Baby
Now you finally are free
Free to run, play and fly
But I still wonder why you had to die

Dora the Explorer was your favorite TV show
The park and Aunt Jodi’s were places you loved to go.
Little Josh was your favorite boyfriend
Your love for mint chocolate chip ice cream never seemed to end

You loved butterflies, oh yes, you loved butterflies
You liked blue and green, how they matched your pretty eyes
Even during your battle you kept up a pretty smile
Made my heart light to watch you all the while

You are my butterfly, angel baby
How I miss and love you
So much I see makes me think of you and cry

Butterfly Angel Baby
Now you finally are free
Free to run, play and fly
But I still wonder why you had to die

I sometimes wonder what God was thinking.
I know he didn't want you to be sick and alone.
He must have been short on angels.
That's why he had to bring his sweet baby back home
to be with him, for you are his now, and forever.

Big Brother Jordan says it’s so unfair
Your clothes are what your sister Justine likes to wear
Little Jacob says he misses you so.
They were all so sad to see you go.

We all miss you in different ways
Life goes on, we have sad and better days.
But we still yearn for the flutter of butterfly wings
For we know you are with us, it’s like hearing angels sing

You are my butterfly, angel baby
How I miss and love you
The butterflies I see make me think of you and cry.

Butterfly Angel Baby
I am so glad you are free
Free to run, play and fly
But I still ask G-d why you had to die
