Come on in and sit a spell, for I have got a tale to tell:

Once upon a time there was
A caterpillar, full of fuzz.
He knew, one day he would fly,
So, he didn't fret as the days went by.
He also knew that he'd be pretty,
So, he didn't fear, not an itty-bitty!
He spun himself a fine cocoon;
Then found himself to have no room.
GOD knew the caterpillar would be at his best
Only after he went through a test;
So, He hung him in a tree, upside down,
Then kept him there till the sun went down.
The caterpillar didn't want to be
Hanging out alone in a big oak tree;
But, even though he didn't understand,
He trusted GOD had the perfect plan.
He cried all night, but then come morn,
That fuzzy little worm was no longer forlorn;
Because Jesus answered the little worm's cry,
And made him a beautiful butterfly!
So, wait a little longer, after you've done all you can:
Don't stop hoping for GOD has a plan.
Just wait a little longer—Jesus will come through…
He's making YOU beautiful too!
