Hopefully Me

Hopefully Me

The butterfly drifted along with the

Breeze. She is graceful, most beautiful

In her most natural form. Even

From a distance, one can see

She is lovely, unique

A special creature.

The expression

Of what I

Wish to

Be.

I  wrote this poem because... I love butterflies!

It's an odd attraction, but, what I meant in the poem by, "The expression of what I wish to be" is... What I see when I look at a butterfly is what I want people to see when they look at me.

Butterflies are graceful, which is something I'd love to be. I tend to be more along the lines of awkward and clumsy, or I feel that way anyway. But the idea of grace is something I'd love people to associate with me.

Most beautiful in their most natural form... When you think of a butterfly, or, when I think of one anyway, I think of it drifting from flower to flower on a bight sunny day. I think of it in the form which is its most natural! And I think that's where they're most beautiful-- drifting from flower to flower. And, you know in movies when the two people who are trying very hard to not fall in love have that moment where the guy looks at the girl, and it's almost like he sees her for the first time and he's... completely captivated! Because… she’s beautiful. Usually, the girl has dressed up, her hair is perfect, and she looks extra special. That works for some girls, because that... dressing up, looking that way... that's them! It isn't me. And I know you can't just say, "Yeah, well. I'm going to be the most beautiful when I'm barefooted, sitting cross legged in jeans and a tee shirt, laughing about something ridiculous." I know you can't make people think you're most beautiful when you're a certain way. But. I'd like to be seen as most beautiful when I'm just... being me...

And finally, when I look at a butterfly, they seem to be... special. I'd like to be the kind of person, the kind of Christian, where, when people don't even know me, they can look at me and say, "There is something special about her." I'd love to shine Jesus like that.... I really want to shine Him like that...
