The Blessing Of Two Lives

I am blessed with two lives,

I take birth twice in different forms.

My first life is destined to earth,

crushed to crawl in the soil.

I eat my shell to gain strength,

I shed my skin during growth

and eat the leaves a lot, finally

I stop for the beginning of my second life.

I hang on the branches upside down,

cover myself with a protective shell again

I stay inside until my wings gain,

This time with a blessing to touch the sky.

My wings are tiny and colorful

with various patterns designed all around

My flight pleasures me to the full,

I fly in the limitless sky round and round.

I crawl in the dirt,

as my first life is destined to earth.

But I fly high in my second life

for my destination is the blue sky.

I am creepy and hairy

I look filthy in my first life

But my second life,

is a blessing full of colors.

I am a butterfly

destined to crawl and fly

with the blessings of two lives.
