"I am...Melissa"

"I am...Melissa"

I am strawberry ice cream

on a sweltering July afternoon.

Simple, refreshing, cool,

but not just plain vanilla.

I am a camera, click then flash

simple moments captured,

moments usually ignored.

I am your favorite sweater,

comfortable and cozy

colorful and crazy or

simple plain and simple,

whichever you prefer.

I am a caterpillar,

eating and quickly growing,

waiting to become a butterfly

so that I may spread my wings

and ly into the bright blue sky.

-Melissa
