We all start as caterpillars
But slowly we grow
Until one day
We are Butterflies
As I have watched you grow
I have seen you
Turn into a fine person
And a beautiful young woman.
Oh! Beauty of face you have that indeed
But what excites me most is your inner beauty
Your grace, your gentleness, your lightness
The butterfly has emerged and brought a power to you
So wonderful to see, it encourages me
Because you see I too am a butterfly
A little older now, a little faded
But of the butterfly family
My message to you is thus
Fly lightly and touch gently
Shine with the rays of the sun
Illuminate your wings in the moonlight
Caress the petals of the flowers with your very being
You are a journey unfolding
A message, a ray of hope
And oh so beautiful
Fly near or far and leave your gentleness always
Find amongst the fields
The most colourful of wild flowers
Open your wings and blend your beauty there
Look also for the one lone poppy
Stop and gently embrace there too
The merging of your colours will mean so much
Leave the meadow all the better for your visit
Endure the torment of the flies
For they have a different need
Enhance the moths with your splendour
Love your sojourn in the Garden of the Universe
And meet me in the silken heavens.
