Spread Your Wings Butterfly.

Spread your wings, butterfly.

It’s time for you to go.

You’ve done the work—

you’ve been the goo.

Yes, you have moved through

your greatest battles.

You know that you can do this.

With the strength you’ve crafted

over these years,

and with those tear-stained eyes

you’ve wiped a dozen times,

still you have risen

through the concrete

laid down by the generations

before you.

Between hell and high waters,

you have conquered every demon

you once feared as a monster.

Through love and grace,

you have crawled your way

through the dirty, muddy potholes

that tried to bury you.

Now it’s time, butterfly.

You’re ready to taste

the nectar of your next chapter.

You’re ready to land

on the petals

you’ve only dreamed of so far.

Spread your wings and go.

For they will take you

to the places

meant to feed your soul.
