The Caterpillar and the Butterfly

Once,

an eager caterpillar I was, 

dreaming of a butterfly to be.


Now,


a happy butterfly I am, flying 

into the Lord's eternity!

Like the caterpillar we'll shed our earthly form and head for our Lords eternity but first we have to prove ourselves worthy before we can earn our wings. Tom
