A butterfly lands on our shoulder, like a sunbeam
And for a brief moment its magnificence
and beauty belong to our world
But then it flies away
And though we wish it could have stayed…
We feel lucky to have seen it.What the caterpillar perceives as the end, to the butterfly is just the beginning."I feel lucky to have met you today; I hope you will have a wonderful beginning.<!-EndFragment->

After reading your words, billjacot, i’ve recollected this poem by Cheri Filson, which i read on that website where i came across your quote. Here it is
I BELIEVE I CAN FLY
They believe…be sensible
prepare now
save for the future
work hard while young
enjoy when old
no pain no gain
They believe…compromise
follow the crowd
stay within the lines
keep your head clear
keep your eyes straight
ahead
feet on the ground
What about now! what about
roses? what about stars?
what about chasing rainbows,
floating clouds, butterflies…
what about silver linings,
serendipity, spontaneity…
what about moonbeams, sun-
rays, raindrops?
I believe….
I believe I can cut my own
pathway
I believe I can step off the edge
and not fall
I believe I can close my eyes and
follow my heart and soul
I believe I can walk in the rain
and not get wet
I believe in today and have hope
for tomorrow
I believe in dreams, I believe in
me….
I believe I can fly!

I think this thread will be better if you somehow know the person commenting before you.. We are supposed to make him/ her smile, right?
