I Saw A Little Caterpillar
Wiggly And Wooly Was He
- Maybe A She -
AND
He Was Eating His Way Through Life
On Every Green And Leafy Tree!

One Day
It Seemed His Already Healthy Appetite
Became Insatiable
AND
It Was As Though He Was Eating For Dear Life
As Blessed Sustenance Was Taken On Board!

How Very Straaange ...
To The Great "Minds" Around Him
His Action Is Foolish Indeed
For
He Was Knitting For Himself
- He Was Knitting Himself Into -
A Skin-Tight Body Glove!

The Former Friends False
In The Village Futile
Spoke In Hushed
Yet Strangely Strident Tones
Telling All Who Would Listen

From A Distance
They All Watched
For
Nobody Wanted To Be Tainted By Touch
AND
Surely Not By Taste
So
Nobody Knew That Little Sinna
Was Experiencing
The Loving Living Omniscient God's
Unfailing Grace!

Time Passed!
Life In The Village Called Futile
Was Being Inaccurately Called
FUN!
Many Of The Denizens Thereof
Were Joyfully Worshiping The Sun
The Moon And The Stars!
Some Had Taken To Roaring Round
In Fast Cars
Behaving Like Whirly Birds
AND
None Seemed Even To Remember Little Sinna!
Until ...
One Glad Morning!
It Is Like This ...
One Glad Morning
When A New Day Was Coming O'er
The Latched Down Sarcophagus Of Little Sinna
The Caterpillar
Cracked Out
Sounding
Like The Shot Of A Rifle
Nigh Unto A Buffalo Gun!

Those Close By
Took Off At A Run!
To Say That The Lowly
The High
The Lofty
Were Gobsmacked Aka Stunned
Would Be The Understatement Of The Day
The Year!
I Am Sure
Even The Very Century!

All Is Quiet
As
Out Of His Cocoon

Emerged
The Most Beautiful Butterfly
With Glimmering Wings
Displaying Not A Hint Of Death's Taint
But Showing
The Elevated Standard Of The Glorious One!

Willing To Stand Firm
On Even A Grass Blade
Whether In The Fierce Heat
Or In The Fair Shade!
