Sara, nice to see a caterpillar bridging a gap. Your words make me think that every day brings us to a new something or other. Hopefully a pleasant something. Smiles!!

This lovely poem explores metamorphosis and progress. It uses the caterpillar's effort to symbolize the human struggle to overcome life's hardships and find hope. The caterpillar's movement symbolizes possibility and metamorphosis. Good luck with the contest
