Loyal to the
cocoon
From where she comes
The Theta Woman rises out of a lavender dawn
To proudly bridge the gaps in her world
With her butterfly wings
With honesty and
courage
She lives and loves without conditions
Surrendering to her beauty and power
She gives and receives freely
Remembering her vision, her purpose, her heart
Creator of her
own definition
She inspires those around her
To be proud and selfless
To give unselfishly over and over again
Loving herself
as she loves others
The butterfly transcends
Taking others with her in her flight
