Today as I was walking I noticed a wiggly green little thing dancing in the air beside me. It was hanging from an invisible cobweb string that was attached to my finger at the other end and first I thought it was just a leaf. It was stormy and windy and as I walked I tried to keep my finger steady to play with the leaf and the little wiggly green seemed to fly with me. Only after a while I realised it was a tiny live caterpillar and I left it on a tree. We must have already been quite far from where it started its journey with me (and I don't even know exactly where that was). Here is a parting shot of the little fellow and a verse to remember him by.....
Tell me little caterpillar
Did you really want a ride
Or did I just carry you along
In my own walk and stride
Tell me little caterpillar
Was it fun for you to swing
How was it to fly along
Even without a wing
Tell me little caterpillar
Will you now feel all lost
Did you enjoy the adventure
And did it come at a cost
Tell me little caterpillar
What brought us together today
To travel awhile in the storm
And then to each go our way
Tell me little caterpillar
Did you really want a ride
Or did I just carry you along
In my own walk and stride
Tell me little caterpillar
Was it fun for you to swing
How was it to fly along
Even without a wing
Tell me little caterpillar
Will you now feel all lost
Did you enjoy the adventure
And did it come at a cost
Tell me little caterpillar
What brought us together today
To travel awhile in the storm
And then to each go our way
