<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Yellow Butterfly of JOY, I Salute You</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">You dance through the wild blue skies</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">where sunshine floats</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">asking nothing more than to be noticed</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">your vivid essence of daffodils, golden butter, and dappled dawns</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">flits across my radar screen</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">and the world stills</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">as I embrace the wonder of you</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">aflutter, holding you deeply in my heart</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">a sunlit reminder of the serendipity</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">and lightness of being that flows freely</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">as we gather the nectar of flowers</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">timeless and fleeting all at once</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Wings of YES</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Wings of Ooh</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Wings of Love</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Wings of Praise</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Gratitude &amp; Grace</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Dazzling Days</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>&#8211; Paula Boyd Farrington · </em><em>12/31/2012</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Happy New Year All!</strong></p>
