Back in school, she'd sit alone,
Her head down low, a world her own.
Flaming hair and freckles bright,
Hiding dreams far out of sight.
Silent steps, a fleeting glance,
A quiet girl, no second chance.
Who could know what time would show?
A hidden flame, a brighter glow.
Life has a way of turning the tide,
Unseen beauty starts to shine.
Butterfly, you've taken flight,
Wings of wonder, pure delight.
From a girl so shy and small,
Now you rise above it all.
Butterfly, you're soaring high,
Painting colors in the sky.
From a world where dreams would lie,
Now you're free, oh butterfly.
Fifteen years have passed us by,
A fleeting chance beneath the sky.
Your smile is warm, your voice is clear,
A strength you've gained through every year.
You've built a life, you've reached so far,
A shining light, a guiding star.
No longer shy, no longer small,
You've grown to rise above it all.
The girl I knew has come alive,
A beauty rare, a heart that thrives.
Butterfly, you've taken flight,
Wings of wonder, pure delight.
From a girl so shy and small,
Now you rise above it all.
Butterfly, you're soaring high,
Painting colors in the sky.
From a world where dreams would lie,
Now you're free, oh butterfly.
I see you now, so strong, so bold,
A story new, a tale retold.
The girl I knew, a spark inside,
Has found her wings, now takes the sky.
Butterfly, the world is yours,
You've opened wide life's hidden doors.
From silent steps to skies so wide,
You've found your strength, your wings, your pride.
Butterfly, just keep your flight,
A shining light through darkest night.
Your story's written in the sky,
Forever free, my butterfly.
