Life begins
An egg, as small as the nail of a
Pinky finger
Reaching out at me
From baby-soft skin to
Scales, antenna, delicate wings
Prettier than anyone hopes to be
A young butterfly
Life continues
A child grows, a baby learns
Ideas, independence
Separation
the child separates
From their parents, their world
Expanding
A butterfly learns to fly
A baby learns to walk
A butterfly learns to soar
A child learns to run
The world learns to change
