This is a poem that is sometimes used at
funerals and is readily available online.
The author is unknown.
And swung from grass to ground
“I must find out the news”, he said
“That’s buzzing all around.”
The garden creatures great and small
Were quiet as a mouse,
They saw the caterpillar crawl
Into a tiny house.
“He’s such a fool,” said the ladybird
As she polished up her nails.
“It’s the silliest thing I’ve ever heard,”
Said a pair of solemn snails.
So all the creatures went away
All thinking she was dead
Until one bright and lovely day
A little earthworm said.
“I see a crack in the little shell
And something moves inside
I see a head and wings as well
Come quick and see,” she cried.
“The caterpillar’s back,” they said,
Before their very eyes
A butterfly stepped out
And smiled at their surprise.
“I left the life you thought I knew,
You thought that I was dead.
I did it just to show to you
We die to grow,” she said.
