God's Great Surprise

God’s Great Surprise

Man on earth must grow and cope.
Encapsulated, restrained 
Living life with dreams and hope
Eternal learning maintained.

Birth and death are facts of life.
Two miracles, diverse lives -
Mortality grasps its strife.
Eternity loves; God thrives.

When earthly death greets its end.
Soaring souls to heavens rise.
Life, like a butterfly, flies forth.
Ascending to God's great surprise.
