Metamorphoses!

In truth! We are just what we eat
And so seems nature’s plan
From mother milk, we turn to meat
Nourishing mortal man

But man is more than flesh and bone
Inside we’re spirit too
Which no one sees but God alone
Until we’re born anew

The spirit needs what Jesus said Mt.4:4
Though first it may sound odd
Man cannot live alone from bread
He needs to feed on God

Through earthly fare, we’re fat and sleek
But spirits too must feed
So when God’s word, one comes to seek
The Truth will meet the need

Both day and night the body dies
Though inside, something’s strange
Like grubs turn into butterflies
So too a man can change

Made pregnant; through God’s Holy Dove
Inside with soul aglow
We thrive on Jesus’ perfect love
And through God’s word we grow

In death, we reach the pupa stage
God’s sheep in Christ can see
Until man’s spirit comes of age
He’s never truly free

Set free with eagles now to fly
Set free to feed on love
Set free to seek God’s higher sky
And live through Christ above…
