A poem from my inspirational collection of poetry.

So delicate with intricate design, beauty behold
Dry your wings in the warmth of the sun
Rich in colour like velvet
You are glorious
A miracle of nature
Your life path has been a special journey
An adventure of monumental proportions
Pondering its enormity
From the egg to the tiny caterpillar
From the caterpillar to the chrysalis
From the chrysalis to the butterfly
Every stage a challenge
With many obstacles to overcome
Events to test every fibre of your being
Still you have survived all this with grace and beauty
Ever changing, ever growing
Always beautiful

    Again a lovely and brilliant poem. From this poem I can tell you love butterflies as much as my friend does. She sure loved your pictures of them that I sent to her.

    You have my permission to put it to music if you want to. After hearing your other stuff on Loudio I’d be honoured and curios!

    I hope this applies to me as well as everyone.

    I never thought about butterflies quite like this before but you’re right…
    My wife loves them!
