                              I fly free at last..          free…        from my cocoon.

                          The struggle over as I   emerge  out of what appeared to be

                             my grave to untrained eyes. Transformed from a fuzzy

                                 earthbound creature to a creature with silky wings

                                      who flies. Giving hope to those who see me 

                                        that  they will emerge from struggles and

                                  spread their wings and fly. Earthbound no more by

                                cares which weigh them down. No more crawling on

                                  the ground viewing only part of the picture. Instead

                                      seeing the beautiful vistas of rivers twisting like

                                           snakes traveling to the sea. Tall mountains

                                             beckoning to be climbed. Valleys to be

                                                explored. Life to be lived flying free.

                                                          Hope                    Lives!
