In this one life

  In this one life 

  I want to be a butterfly    

Even for a while if not more

   I would celebrate divinity of love   

Both the rough patches 

  And alluring heights 

  I would deal with equanimity  

 Deeply embrace each episode 

  As the butterfly embraces and caresses    

 The process of metamorphosis   

With ease and fervor

   For... I need to evolve   

With each passing day   

Prove my mettle 

  And be the best version of self

   I shall not discriminate between humans   

As the butterfly does not deal in such way   with flowers    

From God's garden they are   

And each is special for sure

   I am fortunate to be alive 

  Feel the pulse of humanity 

  Assuage their hurt  

 They are my God connect  

 Like blooms to a butterfly

   Source of exuberance for a butterfly   

Is life itself  

 Taking a cue...

I too shall   leave no room to rue   

Frown less smile more

   For this one life is a gift from God 

  Calls for celebration.
