The Butterfly
In the cocoon lies a secret
A metaphorical preparation for life
And from the struggle emerges
The butterfly - one of the world’s most beautiful sights
Spreading its wings
Strong – from the earlier years
Unaware
The process – the maturation, from overcoming all fears
The harder the battle
The more beautiful life’s flight
Strength - confidence gets developed
Our vision becomes clear and precise
So let’s spread our wings
Trust and appreciate all lessons learned
Take the given advice
Work hard – be content with all you have earned
From the cocoon we shall rise
Glorious colors to behold
Like the butterfly
Our life story gets told
How ironic – the reward is the struggle
