The lonely Caterpillar:
the lonely little caterpillar, munching on the leaves,
weighed down with sin, it's life misperceives.
the slow and slumber body, green and unseen,
it's only real purpose, to eat through all the greens.
it lifts its head high, and sees a beautiful butterfly,
it thinks nothing of it, for caterpillars don't fly.
growing plump, caught up by it's own greed,
still the caterpillar cannot fulfill it's empty need.
On one early morning, a butterfly flew down,
so active that it was, it flutters all around.
It settled next to the caterpillar, so wanting to speak,
it said "come follow Jesus, your life won't be bleak!"
"believe Jesus died, for you he was slain,
He rose from the dead, so we can live again!"
the caterpillar believed the things that it heard,
and was baptised [cocooned], so fully undeterred.
Out of its cocoon, came a very different kind,
with wings so beautiful, and Jesus in it's mind!
free from it's sin, a whole new life will begin,
"I'm finally a butterfly" it said with a grin.
no more shall it think upon those large green plants,
now that it can fly above it's own selfish wants.
they all flew together, more caterpillars being told,
excited for the day, when Jesus returns, as fortold!
we all don't transform, on this sinful Earth,
it's only through Christ Jesus, we go through rebirth.
