The Butterfly, The Flower And The Snail Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

The Butterfly, The Flower And The Snail

Rating: 5.0


Oncea butterfly, a flower and a snail met together.

The butterfly said: I am colorful and I can fly.
The flower said: I bloom and I have fragrance.

The snail told simply and in a satisfying tone:
I am satisfied with myself as I am.
The thought Godloves me as I am
is enough for me.

I am very happy.

Thanks for reminding us that beauty is being unique. We can only love ourselves the way God has made us.

To be happy, the snail has come to his senses, he is happy through the love of God whose love he feels. He is aware of his place in creation, he is aware of the love of the creator and that he exists because of his love. He moves slowly and humbly with joy in the knowledge that he is valued. He has joy just to be, he does not feel he has to prove his worth, he is secure in the love of God.

Beauty is short lived. The snail has realised this and has faith in God. He has created every single species in a unique way. So one should not boast of one's beauty. There is a strong message in the poem for not showing off. Thanks for sharing.10++++++

A great lesson for all of us in this simple yet profound conversation between the three, no matter how big or small we are and what we may think about ourselves, every single living being is worthwhile so long as we know our value with positive attitude.10++++

A beautiful poem with a wonderful message. In Lord's creation every one is beautiful.No one should feel proud for outward beauty.One who feels his life as God's gift, feels happy and satisfied. Thanks for sharing this poem.
