A Butterfly’s Struggle

A Butterfly’s Struggle

By Melody Beerbower, May 14, 2012

Pretty little butterfly,

From your cocoon fighting to be free,

I wish I could cut it away

And give you liberty,

But there’s a purpose for your struggling.

There’s a purpose for your pain.

Don’t be discouraged.  Don’t give up.

Your efforts aren’t in vain.

This trial’s going to make you strong.

Have courage; it won’t take long.

So struggle on little butterfly,

For soon, very soon,

You will learn to fly.
