Caterpillar Poem by Colette Dright

The caterpillar she crawls around and around
Wondering when he'll come home to lay his head down
She cooked and cleaned and is awaiting for he
But there with his caterpillar, he'd rather not be

She's tired of the neglect and wants to get away
There's nothing more to talk about, nothing more to say
The caterpillar is hoping to find happiness one day
With one who will love her, with one who won't stray

Are men that stupid or they really don't know
When they have a good caterpillar, they tend to let it go
Now that she has left, he can no longer hide
The true love he feels for his caterpillar inside
He didn't appreciate what it was and all that he had
But it's too late, too bad and now he is sad

It's over now and they are no longer
She hid away from the world until she could become stronger

Yes, time has passed and the season has changed
And look what has developed, a beautiful butterfly with wings
So you admire the butterfly and how it has grown
With the wind blowing softly, the butterfly is gone

For the happiness and love was found within
Off across the sky flying so free
The butterfly is happy.. the butterfly is me!
