God has given me two gifts
of precious love and joy
My daughter is my butterfly
and my angel is my boy

He sent the angel first to me
to show me how to care
Loving child with tender heart
and kindness he does bare

He grew up fast and wonderful
and then there came the day
A butterfly was sent to me
in a most unusual way

My butterfly is delicate and
special care requires
Her wings are fragile satin
and are often very tired

But my angel is her hero
and gives her strength in love
Through him she finds courage
and I thank the Lord above

Many battles both have fought
and each time they have won
They've taught me much my precious gifts
my daughter and my son

Hannah is my butterfly
so pure and meek and mild
Corey is my angel son
my hero and my child

This poem was written for Laura and her children. I am dedicating this poem to Corey who has shown much
wisdom and responsibility even thought he is yet a youngster. He has deep love for his little sister Hannah and never
shows any signs of jealousy or ill even though so much of his parents time is spent on caring for little Hannah Butterfly. You are
certainly a hero Corey. This poem is written and dedicated to you....Happy Birthday sweetie. With much love, Island Princess
