Two days ago I hatched
From my egg and came to
Greet the day with new life
To learn what I could do

I hardened the next day
Growing but still unformed
Enclosed myself in silk
No longer a newborn

While dormant I thought of
Ones I’ll never forget
The relationships made
The people I have met

I am awake today
My wings ready to fly
Into the future I go
I turn to bid goodbye
