Sweet Butterfly

A small cacoon hiding from the light
Safe within the surrounding coat
Nothing could harm it
Nobody there to hurt it
Time passes a second at a time
A small caterpillar feeds itself on the greens
Hoping to someday grow
Wishing to skip to the next stage of its life
Crawling and pouting for food
Hidden dangers arrive
Protecting itself against pain
Time passes a second at a time
A caterpillar grows its wings
The wings bring hope
The wings bring new realities
The wings bring new opporunities
Flying across the sky
Seeking places from afar
Finding places that did not exist
Oh sweet butterfly
Fly with confidence...
Oh sweet butterfly
Remember to not forget....
Oh sweet butterfly
Continue to dream....
