May Be

May be,

I am a tortoise, who is slow; who cannot compete with those 

"beautiful" & "talented" rabbits!

Maybe, "slow but steady wins the race" is an obsolete adage, but maybe, I live long to share my life experiences of "my failure-stories" to guide many other such tortoises like me!

Maybe, I am a larva but when I shall become a butterfly, all will praise my beauty but none shall realize the pain I went through from the transition of a larva to a butterfly.

Maybe I am not daring as a lion or shrewd as a fox

but maybe I am the hardworking ant; maybe I am known for my hard work & not my stature.

Maybe most Dahlias bloom in valleys, but some Dahlias need time to bloom in adverse conditions, for they said long ago:

"When a flower does not bloom, we do not fix the flower, we try to fix the environment around it!!!"
