For a life of a day

A small little insect
On a hot sultry noon
Makes it way
Out of its cosy cocoon.

Slides on the green leaf
Dotted with a drop of dew
The little one awaits changes
Unknown and new.

Then comes the dull moth
For its moments of struggle
To turn into a a butterfly
All the time it wriggles.

Brightly colored butterfly
Flies, happy and gay
Surpasses all the struggles
To live life of a day.
