Thank You

Thank You

for giving me the fuel to write

for being the source of the pain

that cries to be released

into something more beautiful

and useful.

That pain being transformed 

into insight, empathy, and compassion

I could not possess these things if it weren’t for you

That is why I love butterflies

their beginnings

are not as beautiful as their ending

they transform from a caterpillar 

to a masterpiece of color in the air.
