The Butterfly
THE BUTTERFLY
The butterfly's a symbol,
A symbol of rebirth,
A shedding of the former life,
To be a thing of worth.
A metamorphosis took place,
A new life has begun,
A creature of great beauty stands,
Where once there was a worm.
No more to crawl amongst the leaves,
She spreads wings of bright hue,
The past is done and over now,
Behold, all things are new.

HE IS A NEW CREATURE. OLD THINGS HAVE PASSED AWAY,
BEHOLD, ALL THINGS ARE NEW."
