Butterfly
I’m just a little caterpillar
That’s all I’ll ever be
Sometimes I like to dream
That I could be a bee
What a joy it would be
To fly higher than a tower
Or when I’m feeling lazy
Settle down on a yellow flower
BUT I’m not
Im just a little caterpillar
That’s all I’ll ever be
Sometimes I wish I could be a …..
Magnificent Cheetah!
Sprinting through the savannah
At 75 miles per hour
A blur of tan and black spots
It’s like a super power!
BUT I’m not
Im just a little caterpillar
That’s all I’ll ever be
Sometimes I like to imagine
That I could be a dragon
Living on a cloud
Breathing fire through the night
High above the ground
That would be a sight
BUT I’m not
Im just a little caterpillar
That’s all I’ll ever be
OWWWW!!!! A sharp pain inside
I think I’m going to go and hide
Building a barrier between me and the world
Now the pain has turned into an ache
I’ve got to finish
Before my heart breaks
I’m all alone and on my own
Trapped inside this little space
With no one to see my fear.
Wishing I could feel your warm embrace
You left me deserted
With my faith slowly dwindling down.
No one to boost me up
No one to help me be found
Darkness is all I see
My tears is all I feel
My sobbing is all I hear
“Grandma” is all I can squeal
Every minute I’m growing older.
Every second becoming more claustrophobic.
But, no one’s around me
No one will notice
Panic hits me all of the sudden.
What if I can’t escape?
I’ll be trapped all by myself
Like an isolated ape
Then I remember your favorite song
A Child's Prayer, Oh how you used to sing
You used to always tell me
“Pray, and God will help you with anything”
I kneel down on my knees
And begin to pray
“Please, help me with the pain
Help me get out of here today.”
I raise my head and look up
Something is twinkling up above
Light!!! There’s a crack in the wall
With all my force I give it a shove
I'm free!!!!
Them I realize something strange
I can’t even believe what I see.
I’ve changed…
I’m just a little caterpillar
But, that’s not what I’ll always be
Because now I’m a beautiful butterfly
Much better than a bee.
