~A BUTTERFLY’S JOURNEY~

Stephanie M. Storey-Morant

Have you ever watched a butterfly?

As it soared, freely, through the sky

Oh, how beautiful, it may have looked, that day

But that butterfly, didn’t always look that way

For one day, not so, long go

He had to crawl, to and fro

Slowly on it’s belly, all alone

Never, ever sure, it would make it home

Never sure where it needed to be

Uncertain of its destiny

But it pressed on, day, after day

Even when obstacles, got in its way

Even when people, knocked it around

And the world seemed to come tumbling down

On it went, not certain where

All it had, was its daily prayer

Sometimes storms came, to steal his plans

Sometimes life, found man’s hands

But that Caterpillar, would cry for Peace

And all of his storms would somehow cease

But that didn’t end, his journey of pain

that Caterpillar, needed a change

So one day he cried in his loudest voice

He took his life back, and made a choice

Someone heard his cry, and wrapped him tight

Covered in Love, this was just right

Protected as old things were passed away

A Warm Cocoon is where he lay

As he was changed, into what he was made to be

He gave his life, and was then set free

But now he was different, from before

He didn’t have to struggle, anymore

He had help, from a higher power

He had comfort in the midnight hour

He had joy in the place of pain

He had shelter in the time of rain

That Butterfly now had his wings

But he had an even better thing

He had HOPE, for his destiny was clear

He had GOD, and nothing to fear
