Today I Saw a Butterfly Bereavement Tabletop Cross This comforting tabletop cross is engraved on back with the poem “Today I Saw a Butterfly.” Front side has title and a lovely sculpted butterfly. Grass-textured base is decorated with springtime blooms. Pewter tone cross has a chiseled texture on both sides. Made of resin; height is 5 3/4″; width is 3 5/8″ and depth at base is 1 1/2″. Text of poem: So much has changed since you’ve been gone, yet somehow life must carry on. Reminders of you everywhere drive me to my knees in prayer. I believe God sent my way the butterfly I saw today; as it fluttered through the sky I tried my hardest not to cry. It made me feel a little blue, because it made me think of you; but as it danced along the breeze, it put my mind and heart at ease. So innocent and so carefree, I felt that God was showing me you’re safe at home with Him above, carried in His arms of love. Today I saw a butterfly and now I know the reason why; though I still grieve and I still mourn, my precious one has been reborn. Poem by Alda Maria copyright Dicksons
