Butterflies are all around
Flitting their wings in flight
Creations of God can be found
In spring, what a beautiful sight.
There is one, first in rank
The King of the insect world
It's body with vibrant colors flanked
Black and yellow, in dots and swirls.
They can do phenomanal things
Even though from tiny eggs they bear
A caterpillar is what nature brings
And it gives quite a few, a scare.
Caterpillars are not pretty at best
And then they shed their ugly skin
A chrysalis is formed to make a nest
A home to develop into a beauty then.
Until finally they emerge majestic
Transformed into a sight to see
A Monarch Butterfly is ejected
Into nature's realm to be.
Their favorite food is milkweed
On that plant they do survive
So if you love to watch them feed
You may need some plants to provide.
God created woman and man
And they create a child
Inside it's mother's womb it can
Become that beauty meek and mild.
Creation, no matter what form it takes
Is such a miracle in itself to behold
Of all the creatures that God makes
The human has to fit into a special mold.
The mold the Master Potter shapes
And gives us our features and designs
We develop our lives, maybe something great
But it is up to us what the product defines.
And then we have the beautiful Monarch
Who tries to survive a long life
But the travel to warmer homes to embark
Is never a round trip, nature provides
So let's enjoy their beauty while we may
And observe the many each year we see
Their lives are short lived as nature makes
But we decide our life and destiny.

Genesis 1: 26, 27
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. |
