From a tiny egg upon the leaf,
Begins the journey, bittersweet.
A caterpillar, small and meek,
Embraces life, new paths to seek.

Through verdant fields, it crawls and feeds,
On nature’s bounty, it proceeds.
With every bite, it grows and sheds,
A silent witness to life’s threads.

In chrysalis, it finds retreat,
A hidden world, a heartbeat’s beat.
Transformation in cocoon’s embrace,
A metamorphosis takes place.

Emerging bright, a winged delight,
A butterfly takes graceful flight.
From humble start to skies above,
It dances free, a symbol of love.
