If I were an insect...
Maybe I'd be a pious praying mantis,
wise and knowledgeable like the people of Atlantis.
If I were an insect...
Maybe I'd be a transformational butterfly,
a short, poignant, beautiful life, roaming the blue sky!
If I were an insect...
Maybe I’d be a hard working ant,
sneaking up the palm fronds of a nice plant.
If I were an insect...
Maybe I'd be a honey bee,
buzzing here and there, with lots of flowers to see.
If I were an insect...
Maybe I'd be a ladybug, bright and exquisite,
I'd be petite, yielding such discreet excrement.
But, I'm not an insect...I'm an elephant.

Such a fun way to celebrate being uniquely you!! If elephants could do a butterfly dance, I bet they’d steal the show.😂
