The Caterpillar's Message
author’s note:
Caterpillars have been around much longer than we have. No wonder they’re smarter.
THE CATERPILLAR’S MESSAGE
The caterpillar knows
in due time it’ll be a butterfly.
As for myself
I often worry I won’t ever
metamorphize.
Spurred by anxiety
I may then try
to hurry the process
and as a result, stumble
and land hard.
The caterpillar knows:
you must go slow.
Each time I fall
I again recall
its message:
learn to crawl, learn to crawl, learn to crawl.
