According to Plan

Amanda’s Dad wrote this poem to comfort Amanda and take away her fear of death by asking her to trust in God’s eternal plan.

by Dad: 02/28/05

What would it be like
A life without pain
A spiritual body
Without wrinkle or stain

How does a caterpillar
Know in a cocoon
It will emerge a butterfly
That can flutter and swoon

God does have a plan
But fear keeps me blind
From the beauty and glory
Of a new body divine

I’ll trade in my earthly one
For one made by His hand
It awaits my arrival
According to plan

So why do I fear
And cry in distress
Is God really real
Is life just a test

I pray and I struggle
But continue to grow
Closer to You Lord
And the warmth of Your glow

I’m nervous and excited
To see what heaven holds in store
A perfect spiritual body 
and so much more

Those who believe
Find true inner peace
Conquering all fears
Of death and disease

Someday we all die
Every child, woman and man
So live your life wisely
According to His plan
