If I were a plain girl
I’d yearn to become a beauty
Wishing everyone to look at me,
And exclaim ‘Hi sweetie, cutie’
Were I an ugly duckling
I’d want to be transformed as a swan
Dancing in dry sandy lake
Dazzling, smiling like the dawn
If I were a butterfly
I would like to reminisce
When I was cocooned in a shell
That was the state of bliss
As larva I was wormish
Disgusting to look at
No one would like to touch me
I faced rejection flat
Then I became a butterfly
A beautiful, winged creature
Having all rainbow colours,
Charming , fascinating features
Still, I’d like to remember
Life’s metamorphic stages
Transition from ugly to winsome
A development in phases
Whatsoever we want to achieve
We can with will and ambition,
Some hard work and perseverance,s
Helps us to attain our mission

Beauty lies in the beholder – philosophical it may appear!
But no one wants to be ugly and seem so!
The attribute’beauty’ is all a perception, we’re often told, but when it comes to us, individually we want our appearance to be appealing to the observers!
In the nature’s scheme of things, all of its creations are noteworthy and have a purpose behind – no matter the entity that came into being appears likeable or not!
Wisdom lies in accepting the creations as they are, and evolution means passing over of different stages of varied nature, like the beautiful butterfly with flying colours flying, of course after going past the stage of larva which indeed looks despicable!
