Mariposa

Pequeña mariposa,

May look débil y frágil,

It’s called butterfly,

As if it’s suave like

Its namesake mantequilla.

But it’s surely resiliente.

Its alas are fuertes.

Carried by them,

It traverses the cielo,

Flies over the prado,

To montaña and bosque.

We all know the

Peligros of clima,

But taking precauciones,

We can reach

Our objetivo and destino.

That’s the mensaje

From the mariposa:

Don’t underestimate

Your own capacidad.

Banish paralyzing miedo,

And fly to

Gloria y cumplimiento.

English translation:

The little butterfly may seem weak and fragile. It’s called “butterfly,” as though it were soft, like its namesake, butter. But it’s resilient.

Its wings are strong, and with them, it crosses the sky, gliding over meadows, to mountains, and forests.

We all know the dangers of climate, but by taking precautions, we too can achieve our goals and reach our destinations.

This is the message from the butterfly: Never underestimate your own capabilities. Banish fear that paralyzes, and soar toward glory and fulfillment.
