Poem: Every Flap Counts

There is no need to flop

When the wings can’t flap

Because of life’s slap

It is only the brave who can sleep

Inside a horrendous day

They sleep so that they can find their strength

To fight another day

It’s the butterfly’s way of life

To flap both wings

But it is not the number of flaps

That makes the butterfly wise

It is the knowledge that every flap counts

Regardless of the situation or circumstances

Remember that every moment is a golden moment

Don’t waste your time with worry and overthinking

Sometimes you need some time off

For you to find healing

Don’t look for sympathy

Find your symphony (harmony)

And listen to the Silence within

It is the best therapy

For those with broken wings
