Butterfly

Caterpillars are a magnificent creature.
You should pay attention a little closer.
A quick look and its not too attractive, nothing you see is 
worth your time.
Maybe the caterpillar is scared, maybe they don't know 
what to do.
Maybe they don't know whats next or how to handle it.
It is just a caterpillar, right?
Or maybe it's not.
Are you too quick to judge the caterpillar?
Not look closely enough, not give it a chance.
You know caterpillars are a magnificent creature.
If you give them a chance you will see.
It time they will change.
Change from a scared, unsure little caterpillar.
Into a gorgeous, brave, high flying butterfly.
