Two Versions of a Poem

​​​Spring:

Today, we release a butterfly

as a symbol of new beginning and life.

We celebrate the resurrection

and rejoice in the wonder, and reconnection.

As it glides away in the warm Spring air,

and flutters among the blossom there,

and stops to rest on a flower or two,

and takes a drink of the morning dew,

we remember that there is nothing too small

that our faith in Christ should ever stall.

Autumn:

Today, we release a butterfly

as a symbol of new beginning and life.

We celebrate the resurrection

and rejoice in the wonder, and reconnection.

As it glides away on the Autumn breeze,

and flutters among the wind-blown leaves,

and stops to rest on a flower or two,

and takes a drink of the morning dew,

we remember that there is nothing too small

that our faith in Christ should ever stall.
