critter of mine,
hidden deep inside,
crawl out of your shell,
all will be well,

there is sorrow and joy,
laughter and tears,
but worry not,
don't be overcome by fears,

you can grow your wings,
from nothingness or all,
you will never again,
have to suffer a fall,

or if you so wish,
you could choose to be landbound,
I do not fault a desire to live on the ground,

you could have spikes and fins,
scales or a tail,
this is no test,
you cannot fail,

why do you worry?
why are you scared?

nothing you do will wane my love for you.
