Poetry
That beautiful butterfly
The butterfly used to fly in our garden
With her strong wings of leadership;
She beautifies the lives of neglected flowers
But has gone too far recently leaving us! We were happy to get her among us
Saw her moving from Teknaf to Tetulia,
Rupsha to Pathuria;
She visited the vegetable gardens
Of the Nurjahans of North Bengal
Houses of so many Alpona Chakmas
Of the Chittagong Hill Tracts
To feel the vulnerability, to observe the
Disadvantaged in northern char areas
Coping with their tragic lives! Thus the butterfly combats poverty
Empowers women, brings people with disabilities
Into the mainstream of self-reliance
Inspires all with her optimism
She makes dreams true through
the ideals of Helen Keller. Thus the butterfly moves the whole world
Shows light to the visually impaired
Removes disabilities
Helps overcome sorrows
Shares the joys of success
Loves and cares for HIV/AIDS affected
For innocent children to bloom like flowers. But, here, we feel and miss her every moment
Because we love that beautiful butterfly endlessly…
