A Caterpillar Could

A Caterpillar Could A Caterpillar could very calmly walk Up to the top of some green stalk; It was like being on a big quest For leaves on top tasting the best. On his body many legs can be found Which never will make a single sound; You can't hear when it is eating; Teeth softly on leaves now are meeting. Then a miracle did take place one day The caterpillar had gone far away; In its place our gracious God brings A butterfly with bright, shiny wings. Days do go by and continue on And pretty soon winter has gone God lets all life come back again From last year where it once had been. James Thomas Horn, Bolivia, NC jthorn5656@atmc.net
