"Believe me nothing is trivial"(The Crow)


My best friend was a buterfly'
she now flys as high as the sky'
the first time i saw my mother cry,
i knew it was the butterfly.
The day i saw a butterfly,
land among my gardens light.
the time my mom walked outside
hugs and comfort through the night


The author's comments:
my best friend who i wish not to name died of cancer, her symbol was a butterfly. when i say "the day i saw my mother cry" that i new it was the butterfly i mean that i never saw my mom cry for anything but my friend. i would love if this got put into a magazine because it would mean so much to me, to my family, and to the whole town in which is still mourning.

This is a very sweet and heartfelt poem, Nicely done. Couple formatting errors, maybe if you cleaned those up the meaning would come through even stronger(:
