I saw my healthy rose leaves,
Vanishing fast, upsetting my peace.
Looked here and there.
Searched everywhere,
To trace the reason,
For this odd thing in spring season.
Looked down at the rose stem,
Looked up at the leaves’ hem.
At last, saw a worm, green and creepy,
Wriggling and wiggling so sneaky.
Hiding under the rose leaf,
Stealthy like a thief.
I picked it outright,
Wishing to destroy it downright.
Without any second thought,
Stamped it under my feet.
Sorry, if I had not let it die,
It would have turned into a butterfly.
