Because of pain and strife and,
the hardships of life-
I found myself wrapped up, in a cocoon.
The cocoon that surrounds me is there to protect me.
from any more pain-
regretful shame.
I realize now the cocoon is God’s grace-
That wonderful grace that holds me near,
grace that makes God’s love so dear.
God has come and wrapped around me
Things I need to help me grow-
His love, peace, joy and mercy,
Like a blanket wraps all around me.
Yet, in this cocoon I cannot stay,
God has more for me than this peaceful, obscure place.
After this time of healing
I feel a moving- a stirring inside,
somehow I have a desire to fly!
I feel a change,
this is amazing to me-
I struggle, I wiggle,
I push side to side!
In my cocoon a miracle came!
I went in not much more than a worm,
but God almighty took the elements that hurt-
tears, pain, sorrow, rejection and fears
my savior took all these things,
and my creator made wings!
I must get out,
I must get free.
God and His kingdom
are waiting on me!
