Spread Your Wings, Kailee

My friend says she's a turtle Locked away in her shell But that's only to people Who don't know her very well In reality she's a caterpillar That hasn't made her cocoon She will become a butterfly, And that should happen very soon! She said I am a lion And that I protect the weak But inside I feel small and shy, And very very meek. On the outside I may look big Yet I feel very small I'll admit I have a big heart And it has room for all. So my friend, I want you to see That what you are you'll not always be, Right now you may heave and sigh But soon you'll be a butterfly!

I would like to dedicate this poem to my best friend and fellow poet here on poetry soup, Kailee Ottman. Who is not only and amazing person but someone I can always rely on and trust. Thank you for always being there, and like I say in choir, feel free to "Lean On Me." May you find happiness in all you do and take comfort in the fact that I will forever remain your friend. That's a promise.
