BUTTERFLY TO CATEPILLAR ![]() I use to be a butterfly, but now the roles reversed. Now I'm just a catepillar. I feel I have been cursed. My skin is not as pretty, as it use to be. My hair is not as thick, and gray doesn't become me. I do believe that I have shrunk. I'm now just five foot three. Something else, my wrinkles show. I'm not what I use to be. I know my legs are shorter, 'cause my butts closer to the floor. My boobs have gotten bigger and harder to carry, then before. My eyes are now a faded green, My hips, well I think of hypos. My shoes always hide from me, because of my little feet and toes. Nah, I'm not what I use to be. A raving beauty I am not. Now, pardon me, I need a nap. Seems I do that quite a lot!;( * That which gives light, must endure burning * |

Well, Kitty, from your picture I take it this poem is about someone else! I enjoyed this tongue-in-cheek piece! Personally I plan on aging gracefully---even if it kills me! Love, Light & Longevity Linda |
