As-salamu `alaykum wa rahmatullah

Not everything that flies was born with wings.
How captivating is the butterfly;
the way it floats,
flutters,
dips,
and then soars.
But it was once a tiny creature
unnoticed
by the eyes of men;
born with hundreds
of tiny feet,
stuck to the bark of a tree.

But today
it enchants,
captures the gaze,
and leads the way.
Steps will lead
to leaps,
and persistence leads
to progress.
Not everything that flies
was born with wings,
so remember your ability to soar.
