The Story of A Butterfly

Deepassionate1 Speaks

Just look deep inside and see
The woman I was created to be
I am a diamond who shines brightly with the sun
I am fearfully and wonderfully made
Sweet, strong & beautiful
Giving life to the weak
I am not easily broken
Using the power in my voice to speak
Launching new concepts each day
Re-educating your minds
No need for concern this caterpillar will be fine
Created to be a butterfly
whose transformation
though strange is beautiful to see
when something so fragile
grows strong and flies so easily
no longer hiding from the forces of life
Embracing the wind as I fly high and free
Now I can clearly see that I am
BEAUTIFUL

Yesterday I met with my former 7th & 8th-grade student Clyshay Mone'. When we saw each other at the library, we embraced in a hug that melted the time that stood between us. We sat and talked and I reconnected with Clyshay's heart; I felt her pain along with her passion for the journey that she is about to embark on. My caterpillar had transformed into a butterfly and I came back into her life to help her learn the importance of protecting her wings. This transformative process of a butterfly isn't an easy one, but it is a necessary one.
