Does The Caterpillar Know?

When the caterpillar climbs up high
Checking out the dangerous sky
Watching hungry birds fly by

Does the caterpillar slowly wonder
Are there those which stop to ponder
What is it like to fly up yonder?

We humans know a thing or two
About strange changes those worms do
But we assume they’ve not got a clue

We’re so smart but we can’t be sure
That those caterpillars don’t know there’s more
And just what metamorphosis is for

It’s quite possible that when a butterfly
After taking wing high through the sky
Smiles at caterpillars as it flies by

Because butterfly’s know…and so do I.
