Evolving

From the Caterpillar to the Butterfly

By Irean Evon ShumpertPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

I am evolving constantly changing,

Like the butterfly undergoing a process

to become a beautiful creation.

Some imagine beauty as a physical feature.

Others tend to look on the outside,

and fail to see what God says I Am.

Evolving is internal; it’s where I been,

through the storms and the rains.

From darkness to light; light to darkness.

Through excruciating pain to overcome,

rising from the pit I did not foresee.

I ‘m growing evolving like the butterfly.

Once there appeared to be no light

I whispered a prayer with all my might.

and said, “Goodbye” to the night.

My faith was growng in the dark.

Out of the window my fear flew away.
