I took up a caterpillar in my hands And sheltered her from danger Cupped my fingers about her fragile self Afraid to show her to strangers I breathed my breath into her life And saw myself in her eyes Yet, too distracted in my reverence Her feelings for me went unrealized It was enough to give her love Enough it was for me As long as I could hold her in warm hands She was all I could see And all I ever wanted for her Was for her happiness to grow To have all she ever wanted And I, content in her shadow Through time feeding on my affection And I, marveling at the sight, She changed before my very eyes Became a butterfly, and took to flight |
