A Little Butterfly


For many years you were chained by your fears
And with tears of pain and cares of shame
You wove into your womb
To await a change from his empty tomb
There his eyes watch this
Great mystery of metamorphosis
From the old to new life
Formed in the likeness of Christ

And I think the time is soon
For you to climb from your cocoon
To steal the wind with your wings
And feel the freedom as summer sings
The joyful reminders that new life has begun

So with a quiet hush with grace and power
Spread your wings
And brush a kiss on the face of a flower

Fly little butterfly, fly with the wind
Soar on your wings
For he has chosen you to win
Fly little butterfly, fly with the wind
And grace his fields with love

I am not quite sure the exact details of why I wrote this poem.  Perhaps I viewed myself or others as a butterfly emerging from his/her cocoon and ready to grace this world with the Father's love.  Anyway, enjoy!
