The Butterfly Effect

The Butterfly Effect 
By MEH3

I want to fly around
like a butterfly 
Enjoying the breeze on 
a pleasant summer day

To spread my wings I must grow 
from this little seed 
That was left on a leaf 
to find its own way

But some day
you will say 
look at him fly
While I am soaring in the sky

Not understanding my molting stages
Only to go hide
inside this cocoon of mine 
In order to fly

I am so excited 
to start this new life
A new beginning 
What a sight 

I realized that 
my caterpillar days
was the only way
for Him to transform me into what I am today

So, as I enjoy this splendid summer day
I must say that today 
looks a lot better 
than my yesterday 

Realizing that a small change
can turn into 
an amazing day
As I experience this butterfly effect!
