Things I'd do if I was a caterpillar

One of my running heroes, Charlie Spedding, said that he likes to envision himself as a caterpillar when he trains.


Here are some of the things I would do if I was a caterpillar:


If I were a caterpillar

Much of my time would be spent hiding from birds of prey

Hidden beneath a shrub, I would nibble on leaves all day


If I were a caterpillar

I would prepare all through June

Knowing that by July, I will be a cocoon


If I were a cocoon

I would realize that this is only a phase

Only a phase, these dark lonely days


If I were a cocoon

I would hang from a branch way up high

Imagining what it will be like, once I become a butterfly


If I were a butterfly

I would have gorgeous wings

Floating a mile above the ground, I could see everything


If I were a butterfly

Life would really be neat

Happy and content, I would feel complete
