In the garden, under the sun’s embrace,
A tiny egg lays with promise and grace,
From this humble start, life’s dance begins,
Unfolding wonders as time spins.
A caterpillar emerges, hungry and small,
Crawling on leaves, devouring them all,
With every bite, it grows and then sheds,
Preparing for the change that lies ahead.
Then comes the time for a silent retreat,
In a chrysalis, it cloaks itself neat,
Transformation happens hidden from sight,
Nature’s magic in the stillness of night.
Finally, the butterfly breaks free,
Wings unfurling, a sight to see,
From a crawling creature to a marvel in flight,
A symbol of change, of life’s pure light.
