From deep inside you heard the call
We never knew what it was about
You started building up your walls
While we tried hard to get you out
To relate with you on common ground
To draw you from the present pain
Where sickness and suffering did surround
To find the you that still remained
But you kept building steadily
You hid yourself and all too soon
In spite of ties to family
You wrapped yourself in a cocoon
You couldn’t hear our voices plead
Distracted by a different sound
And other voices called your name
Choirs from heaven coming down
On the day you left these earthly things
We all stood by so helplessly
Oh that caterpillar eyes could see
The miracle of brand-new wings
So butterfly fly high and far
No longer bound by time or space
But don’t forget to flutter by
At times when I most miss your face
still love you Daddy
