Set It Free

A haiku

how this heart does glide

if I let it fly away

may it come back new

I grew up as a young child with this butterfly picture on the wall of my bedroom. It had a proverb that has always stuck with me.

“If you love something, set it free. If it comes back to you, it’s yours forever. If it doesn’t, then it was never meant to be.” -Unknown
