Monarch

Sealed in a chrysalis, soon to be free 
She is majestic going through a change  
Gaining her strength, mighty as she can be 
She is a beauty queen waiting to reign 

A tigress in the sky, orange and black 
She is beautiful and strong in the sky 
Hovering in the garden, forth and back 
She is a lovely queen fluttering by 

A ballerina in the air, dancing 
She is graceful and agile in the breeze 
Flitting through the flowers, swiftly moving
She is a fair queen prancing in the trees 

A roaming jewel, much strength and beauty
She is an exquisite queen, so lovely
