Butterfly Lesson
Did you ever see a caterpillar sitting on a stem?
He has camouflage there holding tight so harm can't come to him.
After several days and nights he's gone. He just disappears!
He's clothed himself in a soft cocoon. He's safe from all his fears.
Inside his house he's changing then to a creature all brand new,
A lovely, perfect butterfly will ascend, emerge to view.
Now as I see it we're both made by the same good God of love,
And if I just stay close, hold tight, soon he'll look here from above,
And make of me a new creation. The Psalmist said it's true.
David himself said, "The Lord perfects that which concerneth you."

I found this in the shed this morning. I wrote it in 1984.

This is beautiful. The beauty of God's handiwork shines brightly through this one.

Hello Jess, You sure are a hot ticket, I liked this very much. I also loved "HURRAH,GENERAL GRANT" and have passed it on to other friends in and around "DIXIE" I guess I am posting on the wrong poem right now. Keep them coming. I love them all. Joyce/Spanky
Jessica,
