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

Listen to poem:

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 I need to live forever Read on air by invitation ~ May 22, 2022 'POETS HARBOUR' AP: Honorable Mention 2020, Honorable Mention 2020 Posted on October 12, 2018

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.

Yes indeed, Pixie, there are days when we all feel like that very indispensable caterpillar who has NO clue what is around the corner for her. Line xx

And What a beautiful butterfly she will be Shines like the sun so fancy free A sparkle in everyone's eyes Visiting all her flower friends as she flies

This poem makes me want to look up statistic on how long a caterpillar gets to be a caterpillar. Whimsical and fun, Line!
