I need help and pronto. I am designing a sweet sixteen invitation card for my niece (I am a graphic designer). The theme is butterflies, however I am struck in the symbolism and would welcome any help with nice poetry that make good use of the symbolism of turning sixteen. Thanks in advance. Lina

Today's a milestone Eva,
You're turning sweet sixteen.
You've grown from little princess,
Into a Beauty Queen
Like the lowly caterpillar,
you've shed your baby skin
Now like a magic butterfly
You're ready to take wing,
In all your life's endeavours,
As the years go by
Remember this years' birthday,
As the one you learned to fly!
