“Wings You Cannot See”

They say butterflies can’t see their wings

Can’t see the beauty that the whole world brings.And maybe, sis, you’re just like that tooToo close to your pain to see what’s true.

You don’t always see how strong you are,

How far you’ve come, how you’ve raised the bar.You’re tired, I know you’ve cried alone,

But still, you rise and build a home.

You’re a good mom don’t ever doubt it.

Even on days when your mind screams and shouts it.Your kids feel safe because of you,

In every little thing you do.You give your all you break, you bendAnd still you show up, again and again.You’re a good wife, even when it’s tough.Loving someone through storms? That’s enough.You fight for love with your bare hands,You hold it steady when no one understands.And as my sister God, where do I start?You’ve held me down when I fell apart.You’ve yelled at me, loved me, cried by my side,There’s no version of life where you’re not my guide.Yeah, you’ve got flaws we all carry ours.You’ve seen dark days, you’ve felt the scars.You get angry sometimes, you shut it all out,You question your worth, you’re buried in doubt.You live with a mind that won’t always stay still,That pulls you in ways against your will.Paranoid thoughts, that heavy fear,But even through all that you’re still here.Still showing up, still giving love,Still trying hard when push comes to shove.

I know there are nights you hate yourself,

Like your heart’s been placed on a dusty shelf.But let me speak what you need to hear:You matter. You’re needed. You’re real. You’re dear.You may not see the fire you light,But I see you glowing in the night.

Like butterfly wings, unseen but true,

You don’t see it but I do.You’re not perfect, and you don’t have to be.You’re human, and that’s enough for me.So on this day, I just hope you feelThat my love for you is fierce and real.You are appreciated more than you knowIn your pain, in your strength, in your beautiful glow.So even when your mind tells lies,Remember this:You are the reason someone survives.

I just hope you feelThat my love for you is fierce and real.You are appreciated more than you knowIn your pain, in your strength, in your beautiful glow.So even when your mind tells lies,Remember this:You are the reason someone survives.
