If I Were an Insect...
Big dreams of being small
If I were an insect...
Maybe I'd be a pious praying mantis,
wise and knowledgeable like the people of Atlantis.
If I were an insect...
Maybe I'd be a transformational butterfly,
a short, poignant, beautiful life, roaming the blue sky!
If I were an insect...
Maybe I’d be a hard working ant,
sneaking up the palm fronds of a nice plant.
If I were an insect...
Maybe I'd be a honey bee,
buzzing here and there, with lots of flowers to see.
If I were an insect...
Maybe I'd be a ladybug, bright and exquisite,
I'd be petite, yielding such discreet excrement.
But, I'm not an insect...I'm an elephant.

“FROM ORPHAN TO PRESIDENT : A REMARKABLE JOURNEY “
Once upon a time in a small, forgotten corner of the world, there lived a young orphan girl named Emily. Abandoned at the doorstep of an overcrowded orphanage, she had no memories of her parents or any family. But what she lacked in roots, she made up for with a dream as vast as the sky itself – she wanted to become the President of her country.
