Butterflies are Free



 Once I was a caterpillar
crawling on the ground.
Then I spun a chrysalis,
and wrapped it all around.
Then one day the sun shone,
and warmed me all inside,
Slowly slowly I emerged,
I could no longer hide.
I soaked in the sunshine
for a long long while,


Then I tried my brand new wings, And it made me smile!
Now I'm a little butterfly, colorful and bright,
You might see me if you look outside when it's light.



Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 
   2 Corinthians 5:17

Your butterfly pictures and poem go great with the Scripture. Thanks for the mention of Snapper II's blog. That 'hearse' is really something.

Your pictures are gorgeous! I don't know how you got such good ones in the wind, unless you used the fast motion setting. The Snapper II post is so weird! I think it may have been the real deal, and the departed had a huge sense of humor, maybe last wishes for funeral instructions? Or not. I really would have followed it, yes, I would!! And see where they went and everything!

The butterfly is so pretty and I love that poem.

Snapper II's post is funny. I did think it was real for a second or two.
