BLACK BUTTERFLY



Instead of goodbye, look to the sky for I, am a angelic butterfly, once upon a time I was a caterpillar that inched through life, I did what others was afraid to do, I took my time inching through life, Inching through The joys of overcoming pain and sorrow, taking time to smell life’s sweet flowers as I wait to face tomorrow…

A caterpillar is meant to take its last breath to go on a journey of metamorphosis
Nature says the caterpillar must live to breath life into an angel called the butterfly, this is Gods story of life and why we take our last breath, the caterpillar and the butterfly is the story of life and death..

caterpillars are the human in us, for u and I have been chosen to do what gods children are born to do,

We the caterpillars become wrapped in the silk pillars of a cocoon
Waiting for the lords sweet voice to utter, let there be light, as we the caterpillars emerge from the cocoon of life Ready to take flight, Our purpose is to flutter our angelic wings into the next life…

a new life that sets us free from a cocoon of pain and misery, And emerge on the angelic wings ofA butterfly That flys to a paradise lost high beyond the sky,

I’m the butterfly floating like a bird soaring free in the sky, That’s the story of the caterpillar and the butterfly

When you cry, look to the sky,  you will see me soon! For My purpose is to watch over you

I am now the story of the caterpillar and the butterfly
