a poem
Loyal to the cocoon
From where she comes
The Theta woman rises out of a lavender dawn
To proudly bridge the gaps in her world
With her butterfly wings.

With honesty and courage
She lives and loves without conditions.
Surrendering to her beauty and power,
She gives and receives freely
Remembering her vision, her purpose, her heart.

Creator of her own definition
She inspires those around her
To be proud and selfless
To give unselfishly over and over again.
Loving herself as she loves others,
The butterfly transcends

-taking others with her in her flight.
