Butterfly Moments

We were caterpillars, once,

But we were transformed

By forgiveness and grace;

The first butterfly moment.

But we are holy butterflies,

And we transform more

Than only once.

A sudden understanding,

Or a broken wing;

Colors added and taken away.

Time reflected upon ourselves,

Hurts and joys alike.

Let us shed our scales,

May we flutter away, unbound.

With each new passing day,

let there be many new

butterfly moments.
