Everything is impermanent, so why do we find ourselves afraid of change? Remember, if nothing ever changed, they'd be no butterflies.
We are constantly changing
From the moment we are born
Similar to the way that
Dusk transforms to dawn
In the circle of life
We know this to be true
Instead of holding onto the past
We should build upon the new
We’re different to when we were children
We understand we had to grow
But once we get to a certain age
We don’t like to change what we know
But everything that surrounds us
Is in a state of transformation
We really have no choice in the matter
There is no negotiation
Nothing lasts forever
Look around and you will see
It’s all just part of the process
So we can be who we’re meant to be
A caterpillar lives its whole life
Accepting that it has to die
So it can move on to better things
And be reborn as a butterfly
Though these creatures seem different
They are the same at its core
A butterfly accepts its fate
Despite a caterpillar no more
We begin to feel uncomfortable
When we realise things aren’t the same
But it’s all just part of the process
There’s so much that we can gain
Everything is constantly changing
So be sure to ride the wave
Cherish every fleeting moment
Embrace it and be brave.
