Fly, butterfly

April 07, 2014 07:29 pm | Updated May 21, 2016 09:17 am IST - kerala:

Born in an egg so small,

Emerging as a caterpillar,

You become fat, big and may fall,

Green leaves act as a stomach-filler.

You hide in the cocoon,

As a beautiful butterfly,

You will come out this noon.

With bright, dazzling wings,

Among flowers in the wind you swing,

Sucking nectar from the flower,

Colourful and bright,

Happiness you shower,

Around the month of May.

Flying to the lands far and near,

Spreading bliss

Among ones close and dear.
