A beautiful Painted Lady

-

Painted Lady

-

Painted Lady flying free,

Who made you what you're meant to be?

Who caused you to change what's more?

Butterfly from Caterpillar crawling on the floor?

-

Who gave you your wings so fine?

With pattern and colour so divine?

Who painted every single spot?

Who gave you everything you've got?

-

Who caused you nectar to sip?

To savour ever single drip?

To flutter in and out of flowers?

I could watch you for hours and hours.

-

But your time on earth is fleeting grim.

But you can still sing praise to Him.

For you've caused me to praise His name.

Painted Lady I'm glad you came.
