A tiny little thing,
She’d no thought of the days ahead
Or troubles they might bring.
She made great strides when she was young
Though much she’d yet to learn.
The future wasn’t known to her,
And that brought some concern.
How she’d survive from stage to stage,
That was a mystery.
She wondered when the time would come
She’d be all she could be.
With problems that she daily faced,
She ever persevered,
Though times she thought when in a phase,
She’d not reach goals she’d neared.
Adults that all around her lived,
She always did admire.
To be exactly like they were
Was what she did aspire.
So much potential did she show
Upon examination.
She did her best from day to day
And wished for graduation.
And finally a graduate,
She looked up to the sky,
And then in beauty soared away—
The monarch butterfly

I had to chuckle because a couple of days ago I read a reddit post of "What the animals said to God that made Him change His mind about them." And there was one with the butterfly. God told the butterfly that He was going to make it the most beautiful creature from the beginning of its life to the end. The butterfly said, "Well course you are. I deserve nothing less." God replied, "OK then. Half your life to be spent as a worm!"
