Hi to my new readers!  If you're here for my poetry fest entries, go one post down . If you're here for my entry for Ali Cross's blog fest, it's a little different than you expect but enjoy!

Assalamu Alaikum sisters, Before I get to my third and last poem of the blog fest, I have an award to mention. As you know, earlier this year TheSisWhoSmiles awarded me the Butterfly Award .

Now enjoy this poem.  Butterfly Everyone has their own kind of wings so fly away and be a butterfly showing your colors to the world also helping those along the way. You feed them to work their wings and be their own just like you. Keep it up yet be like a sunrise and a sunset going over the horizon, but remembering to come back and shine your light on those you love. (c) Jul 2011 thank you, Fida
