"This is a poem I wrote after giving up sugar and starting to become
vegetarian."
Light at the end of tunnels,
Glowing in my eyes,
Butterfly landing on my bare shoulder,
Tickling my ear with its wings,
And I remember,
You were once a caterpillar too,
A thing of unimportance,
But you showed your true colors,
And I will too.
With every breath I ensure another day for me,
My mind and body,
My special traits,
Which I will pass on to my offspring,
Must be conserved now,
So I flex my fingers of creativity,
And prepare to write a story,
One of many,
To make this imagination last,
Not to waste this all,
Like a shattered glass,
But to maintain the talent,
And hope my children have it too.
It's just a smile,
It's my character,
To be able to be happy,
While suffering,
To be joyful,
Through the good and the bad,
To maintain the happiness,
Even while I feel sad.
I hope that my future family,
Has this too.
And like a butterfly,
They can know what its like to open your wings for the first time,
And take flight.
