Purple Butterfly Poem by Richard Wlodarski

She was the dancing queen

The Caribbean queen
Dancing us through the night

With Elvis' moves out of sight



On board the long ships

And the short ships

She shared our friendship

Made us a little hip



A gift from God taking steps

Instead of elevator

A free spirit

Purple butterfly



Cleaning our ears out

With her outspokenness

Eyes like pizza pies

Heart of solid gold



She lived in our heart

So she lives forever

Dancing in heaven

Making angels laugh

And Jesus smile
