My friend, you are like a butterfly.
I watch in wonder as you spread your
wings, painting rainbows across the sky.


Butterflies emerge, grow, transform-
and I watched you do the same, my eyes
beaming with pride and love.


You came from the darkness into the light-
growing stronger through life's adversities,
until one day...


You became the most beautiful butterfly.
