Poem

It was a lovely summer 
the garden was filled with butterflies. 
Whammy the caterpillar was full of joy. 
He climbed the tallest stalk in the flower bed.
 Maybe he could see the beautiful butterflies. 
They might even play with him. 

“Hello” he said 
as he greeted a very colorful flutter by. 
Poor Whammy was in for a huge disappointment. 

She laughed at him, 
called to all her butterfly friends. 
She ridiculed Whammy 
she actually called him an ugly crawly thing.

If it was anyone else but Whammy
 this story may have had a disastrous ending. 

Whammy just slid down 
found his other caterpillar friends.

 They all wanted to know about the butterflies. 

Whammy told his friends that the flutter bys
 were even more beautiful from close. 

He said he was unfortunate 
he met one who was mean and shallow inside. 

That night Whammy prayed. 

First he prayed that the flyer he met
 would find the kindness 
that was  surely within her. 

Then he prayed for other Caterpillars
 who might have the same experience.

 He knew that at first he felt bad 
really bad.
He felt bad for not being 
as beautiful as the flyer. 

Then Whammy remembered, 
beauty is to be appreciated 
not envied.
"Besides" Whammy thought
"I'm quite dapper myself" 
as he straightened his imaginary tie
and laughed.

He wished that no creature large or small
 that no life form would ever feel like less. 
“If I was a butterfly I would be kind to everyone,
imagine that me a flutter by” he said out loud.
As our story ends
Whammy falls asleep.
Laughing and content
Just to be happy.

Imagine that - a scary caterpillar
 becoming a beautiful butterfly?

Moral Of the story: “Attitude is Everything”.
