pause a little don't kill in haste <br />curb the killer in yourself <br />trample them not as garden's pest <br />they need your kindness' help. <br /> <br />stop your feet see how they beg <br />lying on your garden's leaf <br />call out to you all the tiny egg <br />don't turn your ears deaf. <br /> <br />when they hatch may not look sweet <br />still they need you to be fair <br />not kill them but wait little bit <br />not be repulsed by stinging hair. <br /> <br />now they must eat more and more food <br />to grow in pace and quick <br />if you are patient and act like good <br />their life can get more week. <br /> <br />once you allow them to grow in strength <br />give their life the needed lease <br />they reach their goal of the needed length <br />turn themselves into chrysalis. <br /> <br />thanks to you it reaches the stage <br />on flowers as butterfly dance <br />become airborne beauty on human gaze <br />for you gave them a little chance!<br /><br />Pradip Chattopadhyay<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/life-cycle-10/
