Metamorphosis

Metamorphosis
​

Student girl, tender little girl
of impeccable uniform:
You are
who teaches the teacher
to believe in hope, to believe in the cocoons,
in the buds, the shoots, the tomorrow...

You teach him
to plant with affection
because you have infected
his soul with your springs.

It is felt the triumph of the future
when you study, when you create,
when you shape, when you play,
when you dance, when you sing…

And when you raise
your hand enthusiastically
to express that you deserve
let Science be heard in your words.

When your tomorrow arrives
you will be the butterfly
with perfect and careful wings,
which will fly with honors
on horizons and distances,
and you will leave
as a memory in your school
your delicate little chrysalis cocoon.
