Notes About The Poem

~this poem is me not seeing the big picture, not realizing I am meant to become a butterfly~

Listen to poem:

The Butterfly Who Would Never Be

I am a most important caterpillar
She said to me
Going about my life
My very busy life

I have a world of crucial things to do
I have a home a family and friends
I have a very prominent job
I am indispensable

I have goals and aspirations
Most grandiose of plans
I have so much to do
I am a most important caterpillar
And want to live forever

Mystic Rose Rose October 13, 2018 at 5:55 AM She holds a very important position indeed. It is her duty to make sure those wings bloom come summer heh, ps. there are days when I feel like that caterpillar, there are days when I don't, thank you for sharing, your words fly.
