Metamorphosis

It was just yesterday
She was a small baby
With an innocent face
And a toothless smile
Cooing and babbling through life.

Metamorphosis
Amazes me
She changed before my eyes
From a caterpillar to a butterfly.

Then she was young schoolgirl
Happy and smart
Enjoying her life
With her friends and family
Playing and learning through life.


Metamorphosis
Astounds me
She changed before my eyes
From a fledgling to a bird.

Now she is an adult
A beautiful young lady
Who knows her duties
And competent in all she does
Working and carousing through life.

Metamorphosis
Bewilders me
She changed before my eyes
From a fawn to a deer.
