With Nature’s grace
All things have their place
Whether good, bad or ugly
All are just opinions
Expressed by earth’s denizens
Never judge a book by the cover
Never believe you are more regal than another
From an egg
The fascinating caterpillar emerges
Only to disappear into pupal obscurity
Mother Nature weaves her magic, and
The Empress of The Lepidopteran Realm springs forth
In the form of a butterfly
Elegant and magnificent
She flits here and there
Breathing her vibrant magic into the world
In gratitude to the Mother that embraced her
She confers the gift of eggs to the earth
Then like a river that has found the ocean
She surrenders her spirit to the heavens
And so continues the cycle
With Nature’s grace
All things have their place
Whether good, bad or ugly
All are just judgements
Expressed by earth’s denizens
You never know what is contained within
So, be very careful what you opine
Never judge a book by the cover
Never believe you are more regal than another

Excellent dear Richard, wish your book a grand success it deserves. All of us live our lives identifying with the body we occupy and believe what we perceive to be true.. We see a metallic object that does not work becomes a scrap to be molten in a furnace and cast in a new form with a new name . This analogy applies to bodies we presently reside in .The UNREAL world manifested by the REAL ETERNAL SUPREME for pleasure, it is a very big stage and all of us are playing our roles assigned by the SUPREME. Warm regards
