She sat in a
lonely field crying
amidst daises wishing
for her smile,
when along crawled
a green caterpillar
She cradled it
tenderly
in her hands
and between
tear drops
made a wish…
The caterpillar
glistened
as she suddenly
sprouted
colorful wings
and happily flew
away from the
cocoon of sadness
that had held her,
with her new
found friend
*by her side
